It can be your first encounter with the screen reader, how you fall in love with #nvda, loves, hates, what should be the next 20 years like, how we can get together to do #nvdaCon, just anything that come to your mind about the truely, Only #blind Screen Reader. Take it away folks! #NVDASR

@kaveinthran I first tried NVDA I think in 2008. It was before they started using years as version numbers I remember that much. I didn't really get it at the time and it seemed a bit of a mess, but hey you have to start somewhere and they had.
Took me until 2011 before I started using it full time. the difference was like night and day and I haven't looked back.
I've been encouraging people to give it a go since then as well as starting a guide for JAWS users interested in trying it, which has had a lot of helpful contributions. Really glad that has gone down well with both screen reader users and NV Access themselves.
Here's to 20 more years.

@KaraLG84 @kaveinthran Oooo, can you share the guide? The one thing that annoys me is how to review the screen. I know there's a flat review version, but it never seems to work for me.

@mcourcel @KaraLG84 @kaveinthran You should get the Object Nav add-on. You'll find its scan mode remarkably similar to Narrator's scan mode. Just simple arrow keys.
