I wonder if there's a good reason why the #NVDA screen reader (#NVDASR) doesn't automatically request that the application scroll items into view when doing object navigation, outside of browse mode. If there's an existing GitHub issue on this, I didn't find it with a quick search. Mainly wondering at this point if it's an oversight or deliberate.

This Global Accessibility Awareness Day we'd like to shout out to our translators! NVDA has been translated into over 55 languages to provide access to technology for blind and vision impaired people around the world. Recently we spoke with Harun in Türkiye, who shared how access, in his own language, has helped him: nvaccess.org/post/harun-fast-l…

#GAAD #Accessibility #NVDA #NVDAsr #ScreenReader #Localization #Awareness #Translation

"One of my favourite aspects of [NVDA] was that its entire interface was localised... I was surprised by its small size and very fast operation. Isn't this a wonderful thing? Take it anywhere and just connect". - Harun Türkiye (Black text on white with NV Access logo top and purple sunburst designs in the background)

I have a somewhat urgent question for everyone involved/using the IBMTTS/Eloquence on #NVDA #NVDASR.
I'll be writing final exams in one month, on a clean computer provided by my school. They refuse to get the voice on there, as it is not legal, and my principal complained about internet requests the driver would make. Is there a way to get the eloquence voice in a different, legal way? Don't mind the price. Can you, for example, use the voice data from Jaws somehow? I'd really appreciate answers. Thanks

Synthesizers updated for the #NVDASR 2025.1 beta (as well as working with prior versions):
OldEloquence: eurpod.com/OldEloquence2025.nv…
Eloquence 4.7: eurpod.com/Eloq47-2025.nvda-ad…
Other synthesizers (which all use MME for output) don't require many new updates - simply changing the version numbers in the Manifest will work as they bypass new deprecations.
#nvdasr

Oh wow. Two bugs I can already see in the #NVDASR 2025.1 remote's implementation that I absolutely dislike:
- When muting the remote computer, with the "mute remote" option, this was reworked so that any time the remote machine speaks, it gets unmuted again. This makes the feature useless now, because I do this often when I'm on another laptop, have headphones connected through my desktop through which my work laptop is connected. I know, I'm complicated, 3 computers. But this is when using "mute remote" on that secondary laptop, like the HP I just got back finally today, really helps. Thanks NVDA for breaking it.
- If connected to a remote computer, and your remote computer disconnects but you left control inside the remote session on the target, you cannot switch back out of the remote session, because it will just keep saying, "no computers are connected." Now, again, I do the "host control server" thing, so I don't know if this applies to when connecting to a server directly, but it means that you are stuck in a non-functional target machine until your remote host reconnects. Also, very very bad.
Both of them are horrible and make NVDA's remote implementation quite different from the add-ons.

I just read most of the release notes for NVDA 2025.1. I'm extremely impressed with what @NVAccess has added. There is a huge amount of new features and changes. Absolutely amazing. #NVDA #NVDASR

Happy Open-Source Day!*

Open-Source brings so many benefits. NV Access is proud to be part of the community, from welcoming code contributions, to decreasing cost for users around the world. It's easy to see why "Open-Source First" is a popular policy for governments & companies everywhere.

(*At least in Florence, Italy - a quick search found several dates this year - Open Source not only brings innovation, but also choice!)

Update: Thanks @pitermach showing a great demo that it's actually Mist World Upsampling to 48 in this demo, not NVDA downsampling to 16!
I stitched together an audio file showing you how bad it is at ignoring the setting of -1 as the output. Instead #NVDASR tries to be too smart, enumerate the list and gather which you have set as your sound mapper output, and explicitly call that sound device when passing to the TTS outputs.
I updated this to add a little more at the end and show how Mist World treats audio output switching properly, that I now know is not proper.
Good night, Mastodon. This really ruined my weekend at first, until that amazing demo in my mentions by @pitermach clarified things. :)
Update: People are asking, "how can I tell?" Listen for the sharpness of S's and other consonants. If you have the ear you'll notice.
