Hi. I sometimes still use ESpeak, U.S. dialect, Male 3 variant. I don’t know if it’s just me but it seems like the treble on the voice is a bit softer with 2022.4 beta 1 compared to earlier versions o

Hi, Betsy. I'm not aware of any functions built into NVDA that can decode and announce captchas. That being said the extension that I've used in the past is Rumola, which you can get here. https://ski
