Pontes is a program specifically made for blind people, not saying that
that exempts it from crapware, but it probably has a higher chance of
not having any than any mainstream converter.

Hi Heddy,

Pontes Media Downloader does give you the option to download the full unconverted video from Youtube. It also allows conversion to MP3 and other audio formats. I am totally blind myself and therefore I cannot make accurate analysis of just what quality of videos are downloaded. By default, it downloads the video in MP4 format. I think this may be a compressed form of the video, so if compressed video format is not good enough, maybe this won't work for you.

In any case, the download page for this app is:

Any suggestions for a free app?

Legacy add-ons, as I understand it, and there is a link to them as well, are those that can be used with older versions of NVDA. I'm not sure, but I don't think they will work with current versions.

HI Jackie,

FYI, Pontes does not have any spyware or Potentially Unwanted Programs
that come along with it.  The one you have to be careful of is the
FreeMake converter.  That used to be a good program, but in 2015, they
introduced a bunch of Potentially Unwanted Programs including something
called Security 360.  It was some sort of security program that was
impossible to remove and was most probably some sort of spyware itself.
I don't know how many people got burned with that one.  Pontes is
definitely good to go and I have been using it for years without any
difficulty.

Subject: [nvda] what addons can i get with the most recent version of NVDA?

Hi list members, i'd like to know is there a more recent updater, and what addons can I use with the most recent version of NVDA? There doesn't seem to  be many choices in terms of addons that I can choose to use.  I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can give in reguards to my questions. Thank you.
