Did you know NVDA has a quick way to read whatever is on your clipboard? This comes in handy more than you'd think.
Maybe you copied a chunk of text and want to double-check it before pasting into an email. Or you grabbed a link and aren't sure if you got the right one.
Press NVDA key + C.
NVDA will read your clipboard contents out loud. One shortcut, instant confirmation.

@bitsacb Yes, and I got so accustomed to this hotkey in NVDA that I added the default JAWS hotkey for this same function to insert+c, as well. Btw, the default JAWS hotkey to speak the contents of the clipboard is JAWSKey+Windows+X. Also, with JAWS, insert+space, followed by C lets you review the contents of the clipboard. And if you really want a super powerful clipboard manager, I highly recommend Ditto.

@bitsacb Plus, if you press NVDA=c twice, it will spell the information on the clipboard. If you press it three times, it will spell the text on the clipboard with the phonetic alphabet (so NVDA would be read as "November, Victor, Delta, Alpha")
