Find a graphic with text and hit NVDA+r. OCR results pop up in a little virtual window. Hit escape to close.

I've never used the OCR with NVDA, so how do you use it?

Hi, It is useful in alpha builds, but I do understand that it isn't so much for beta releases. The bigger problem isn't swapping debug tone - rather, instructing people as to how to spot these errors

Maybe the solution here is to open issues for every single error we hear that isn't a duplicate of something else, since these are obviously important enough to get the user's attention. You (and

- Works for me. But the production of error tones when there are no errors is, quite simply, a philosophical no-go for me. I don't care if some "benchmark tone" is used, but it should never be what

Hi, One counterexample, although not that intuitive, is desktop watermark shown on Windows Insider Preview builds; they are early beta quality builds so folks expect stability when considering small

Guys, can we use NVDA+X ? It seems to me that it will be quite convenient. Thank you very much for your advice!

Hello all, I'm playing with veracrypt's CLI, (1). when using the '/secureDesktop' option to mount an encrypted file, NVDA is totaly lost in the secure desktop password prompt with the latest trunk

How do you get it to do this in chrome or brave? The only thing I get is an alert stating there is a download, I then have to hit controlj then choose keep or discard. This would be mainly for

Oh, so it is lol. I was going to suggest control+NVDA+d but that gets you document formatting. Then I guess NVDA+Shift+E will work. Or NVDA+Y.

No, Rob, it is "Audio mute modes"... Oh, how difficult it is to choose a free keyboard shortcut... Ok, please advise me the right combination. Thank you! ;)
