Hi all, In response to a now closed thread on NVDA announcing spelling errors in PowerPoint – more specifically, slides edit area, the actual answer is: No. Suffice to say that this is beyond what NVD

Hi, Yes, it is indeed something introduced in 2022.4 that broke say all in Kindle for PC, specifically table say all. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Beatrice, Before answering a few more things, I can tell you that you raise great questions (none are stupid) - these helped me brush up on a few more ARIA things. And surely you didn't waste my ti

Hi, I tried reproducing thee issue via the sample app to no avail (environment: NVDA 2023.1 beta, Windows 11 22H2 build 22621.1265, Edge 110, Firefox 110). I wrote a quick workaround to let NVDA "pres

Hi all, Almost a week later: 23% of community add-ons are showing as compatible, and if recently registered add-ons are added, this rises to 27%. More add-on updates are on the way. If you are using A

Hi, In this case, I think unpinning apps from taskbar may not be the answer - I bet the game/mouse movement commands rely on screen coordinates/positions and expect certain elements to be at the botto

Hi all, Follow-up: Add-on Updater 23.03 and later will check for Vocalizer Expressive (3.x) driver updates (no voice updates) thanks to the fact that the driver download link wil be added to community

Hi, A few additional things: Due to changes in manifest and other parts of the add-on, settings from older driver will not migrate. After installing 2.1.4(which effectively installs a second copy of N
