Hey Bob and others, I’ve tried several times in the recent past to use my Apple AirPods with my PC and NVDA but it never works very well. There’s a bit of lag and the first bit of whatever NVDA speaks

Sorry, I should have been clearer. The AirPods connect via Bluetooth. They connect fine, it’s just that slight delay and truncating of the first part of NVDA speech that makes them unusable for me. Wo

Thanks for all the great ideas, folks. Turns out I’m already doing a combination of most of these things but did pick up a few tips and tricks. Tony, that plug-in sounds awesome! I will definitely gra

Roger that. Thanks. I'm seeing a pattern here -- whereas Apple says "there's an app for that," with NVDA it's "there's an add on for that." :) I'll make sure to check out the available add ons in the

Hi there, Most of the time there should be a “get audio challenge” link where you can listen to the challenge and type it into the box below. Some of them even detect screen readers now so all you hav

Hi there, OCR will attempt to recognize whatever has NVDA focus. So to work with one of your image files, first open the file and then activate OCR to attempt to get the text from it. Once OCR finishe

Hi, For inaccessible UIs I’ll often run NVDA OCR on the UI and then press enter or space bar on the UI controls I find in the recognized text such as tabs, menus and buttons. I find this only works in

Hi Sascha, I will review that section of the manual, but I just want to make sure it was clear what I was asking about. I know I can initiate a mouse click from the keyboard using the NVDA key and the

yes, very familiar with those commands and I’m still not sure it is being understood exactly what I’m asking about. I think the messages I’ve already written on the subject are pretty clear and I do a

Hi Kara, Thanks for your reply. I think what I wasn’t clear on is that hitting enter or space in the OCR viewer actually generates a left click on that item, something I was able to confirm. That clea

Can't hurt to be familiar with some advanced search techniques like using quotes for an exact phrase match, the plus sign to indicate that a search term must be present or a minus sign to indicate not

So one thing I enjoy about VoiceOver on my iPhone is it has gotten really good at using UI to make otherwise inaccessible UI elements available to interact with. More than just simple OCR, it can asce

Rod, it for sure is. In fact, python is touted as one of the better languages for machine learning.

Modern python is just as capable a language as Java, C++, JavaScript and others. Also, you can write modules in C for NVDA if I’m not mistaken. I believe some of the application‘s core is written in t

Sean, I’m not fully on board with your assessment. Machine learning isn’t a static thing; by its very definition, you feed it content in a particular domain area and it gets better and better at what

I’m good at coming up with great ideas but that doesn’t necessarily mean I have any idea how the heck to make them happen LOL. All joking at my own expense aside, I would think this kind of informatio

I use teams extensively on a daily basis at my job and it seems to work just fine for me. I’ll describe what I’m doing and you tell me where your experience differs. If I want to chat with somebody fr

Yeah, I highly recommend studying and memorizing the teams shortcut keys because they are super useful. As for the leave button, I don’t have that problem myself. The quickest way to move between diff

Out of curiosity, if an add-on is needed to have reliable access to what are considered essential Windows apps, I just gotta ask… Why not just roll that into the core functionality of NVDA?

OK, got it. Here are a couple suggestions: For accessing the link in a message, press enter on the message and then press tab twice. This should place focus on the link. To review a message word by wo
