Bug fixes coming for NVDA Coach V1.5.2 + spanish localization support for Spanish native speakers. Adding a profile button to primary dialog window for easier access to customize the module before exporting certificate of completion, looking to add German, French, and other languages as progress is made. Major thanks to the Russian and Turkish community for lending a volunteering hand to the project. www.tonygebhard.me/nvdacoach #AssistiveTechnology #NVDA #ScreenReaders #Accessibility #Training #Education #GlobalAccess

Our CEO Troy Otillio is on the ground in São Paulo this week for the World Blindness Summit & WBU General Assembly. The theme says it all: “A fragile world, an unbreakable movement—together towards inclusion.” 🌎✈️

The event spans a Technical-Scientific Congress, an Assistive Technology Fair, Poster Exhibitions, and the WBU General Assembly, with multilingual access and on-site accessibility measures throughout. As a leader in accessible technology solutions, we’ll be working to connect with key organizations and agencies advocating for accessibility, strengthen global access and partnerships, and help shape perspectives on what is possible in assistive technology today.

Stay tuned for updates on the excitement, speakers, presentations, and more!
