Want to have JAWS describe an image in context with Picture Smart AI? Use this keystroke to describe an image based on your current application or context. For example, describe the screen of a PowerPoint presentation, the image or control in focus on a web page, or a currently selected file in File Explorer.
Use these steps: Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, P, ENTER on a desktop keyboard or CAPS LOCK+SPACEBAR, P, ENTER on a laptop.

They create an account on a #server for every single #hashtag in the #fediverse just so they can #boost every single hashtag that is tooted. 🤣🤣🤣
I don't manage an #instance (I ran a #BBS back in the day and that was enough for me) but I have to think this takes up server or processing resources.
Also, apologies to folks reading these toots with a #screenreader. I understand that it pronounces the word "hashtag" every single time a hashtag is used. I will eventually behave.
Coming back to #nvda add-on development, consider making all the input help description clear, direct and understanbable.
Put a lot of thoughts in making help accessible even if your add-on only perform simple functions as it will make many days better for many people that want to use your add-ons.
To summarise on add-ons best practice
I just shipped a real release of my `bible-reader` project. It’s a terminal-first Python tool for daily Bible reading. It can import compatible WorldBiblePlans EPUBs, split them into day-by-day files, extract scripture-only readings, and track progress through the plan. I also just added a changelog, automated GitHub releases, a license, contribution guidelines, and issue/PR templates, so it’s starting to feel like a real open-source project instead of just “script in a repo.” 😄 Repo: https://github.com/RareBird15/bible-reader #Python #CLI #OpenSource #BibleStudy
@moeria Außerdem hab ich gerade gestern gelesen, dass es hilfreich ist, Hashtags nicht innerhalb des Textes zu verwenden, sondern durch eine Leerzeile getrennt unter den Text zu schreiben, da sonst der Text mit einem Screenreader nicht richtig bzw. verständlich vorgelesen wird.
#Inklusion #blind #Screenreader #Fediverse #Mastodon #Hashtags
I #do #not #understand the #urge to #put a #hashtag in #front of #random #words in #toots.
#Besides the #fact that it is a #pain in the #ass for #screenreader #users, #most of those #hashtags are just #useless and do #not even #help to #reach a #bigger #audience.
On the #contrary, even for #sighted #folks it's #hard to #read, so they #probably #ignore the #post and just #continue #scrolling.
Announced at the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference: AI Page Explorer is coming to JAWS and Fusion Home Annual Subscriptions in our May 13 release. This addition expands how people can explore web content using AI-powered insights.
Interesting nvda add-on from Tony Gebhard, Interactive NVDA screen reader training add-on — guided, hands-on lessons built into NVDA
Submitted for addon store review, you can check out the Github repo here,
https://github.com/tonygeb23/nvdaCoach-
Thrilled to share something I've been building: NVDA Coach is now available —
a free, interactive training add-on for the NVDA screen reader. 🎉
As an assistive technology instructor, I've worked with a lot of people who are
just starting out with screen readers. The hardest part isn't finding the right
resource — it's the gap between reading about a command and actually using it.
NVDA Coach closes that gap.
Instead of reading a manual, students practice real NVDA commands step by step,
inside NVDA itself, with spoken instructions and instant feedback.
📚 Version 1.0.0 includes 24 lessons across three chapters:
→ Getting Started — the 10 essential commands every beginner needs
→ Reading and Moving Through Text — character, word, line, and selection navigation
→ Browse Mode and Web Navigation — heading, link, form, and landmark navigation
What makes it different:
✅ Everything happens inside NVDA — no PDFs, no videos, no switching context
✅ Live practice forms for hands-on Tab and control navigation
✅ Practice text embedded directly in the lesson window for reading drills
✅ A practice web page auto-opens for browse mode lessons
✅ Completely free. No account. No internet required after install.
✅ Built for beginners, usable independently or with an instructor
If you work with people who are learning NVDA, or if you're learning yourself,
I'd love for you to try it and share it with anyone who might benefit.
This is a beta release with plenty of room for feedback, comments, and suggestions. Please feel free to flood my email inbox. :)
