If upon installing or updating an #NVDA add-on, it showed you a description of the changes in the most recent version in a dialog you had to close, how would you feel about it? Please boost for reach.

@AccordionBruce @cryptadamist Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

I am posting this to both my usual blob.cat account and my Friendica one, in the hopes that someone can help me. It seems that the new version of TWBlue isn't working for me at all. Every time I start it, it says that the program quit unexpectedly the last time it was run, and that if the problem persists, I should report it to the TWBlue developers. I tried it on two different computers with the same result. Fortunately, the last version still works perfectly. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what can I do to resolve this issue?

OK, asking the #fediverse an #NVDA question what's the name of the setting that makes the webpages not look like they're all one line after reinstall? Lol, I"ve taken a thorough look through the settings, and I just can't remember!

I am wondering if it is possible with #NVDA to search for text in specific colours.

Let's say a co-worker sends you a document and tells you that they have formated some sentences in red and others marked with a yellow background.

How would I quickly find such sentences?

With #JAWS the skim reading feature comes to mind. But I don't know if there is a way to do the same thing with #NVDA.

Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community! 👋
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance! 🙏 #Accessibility #NVDA #PDF #DigitalSignature #AssistiveTechnology @NVAccess

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!)

If you haven't read a novel called The Fifth Sacred Thing, written by a peace activist called Starhawk, now would be a good time. I'm planning to get hold of a copy and read it again, along with the prequel and sequel novels, which I only recently learned about.

It's about how a nonviolent solarpunk community resists invasion by a brutal and expanding authoritarian empire. Due warning, unless you're made of stone, you will cry while reading.

Tried the free edition of the #ZDSR #screenreader because I was curious. I will say that for my use-case, if #ZDSR was fully documented in English, it competes a lot more directly with #nvda than #jaws does, runs fine in a virtual machine, and has a bunch of stuff built in that I use NVDA addons for. If it had an English website I'd probably grab a copy for the entirely reasonable price. But I'm not willing to purchase through translation.
