Re: Reading Japanese with NVDA 2022.2
A lot of synths will read English and Japanese both because they don't share an alphabet. The one-core voices mentioned by someone in this thread may do this without worrying about website

Is far I know NVDA do not have the capability of doing that in Windows. I am able to do that on my Mac when I read my text in Chinese.

I should have explained that WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. They document standards to ensure that Web sites are accessible.

Re: Article on Screen Reader History (including NVDA)
I remember Window-eyes. It was the first screen reader I learned to use when I got my very first computer. I remember Raul Gallegos. He did the tutorial on thunderbird and it was quite good.
