Tried to send some money in the #Wise app on iOS, but couldn't work out how to dismiss the amount keypad with VoiceOver and access any sort of next/continue button. So, you know, cool that the main function of a money sending app is broken for #screenReader users. #accessibility

The new offline Ava HD voice available for Windows 11 insiders in the Narrator #screenreader is...wild. Who...what...why? She wants so badly to be my friend and I hate it! I just want her to read the things on the screen. Why is she so smiley and happy? To be fair, all of the other natural voices for Narrator are nearly perfect. If they were just a bit quicker, and had fewer weird pauses, and worked with NVDA, they could almost replace eloquence.

@macer No not use them in posts.

For #screenreader users it is a hell to have all those Unicode symbols be spoken.

Discovering that the "record" function in #PowerPoint seems to break #JAWS was not at all what I needed this afternoon. Going to do some more testing and see what happens with other screen readers. In the interim, however, are there any #Blind folks out there who record slideshows regularly? If so, how do you do it? #BlindMasto #BlindFedi #ScreenReader @mastoblind

NV Access Dec 10

The World #Blind Union General Assembly and World #Blindness Summit in São Paulo, #Brazil in September was an amazing opportunity not only to talk about NVDA, but to give a presentation on the amazing MOVEMENT behind the world's favourite free #screenreader! We have two videos of the presentation and a full transcript for you, complete with an audience-initiated chant of "#NVDA NVDA NVDA!" at the end!

We love hearing how K-12 students use our assistive technology to learn and grow. If you know a student who uses Vispero JAWS, ZoomText, or Fusion software, consider nominating them for Student of the Month.

It’s a great way to share their story and recognize the effort they put into their education. Learn more: https://www.freedomscientific.com/studentofthemonth-2/
