  3. @top_news Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and give away for free, and the hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

  7. After much testing, if you use the OpenRouter translation engine in the Polyglot #nvda addon, the best model to use is inception/mercury-2. It offers the best speed (usually returns within 1.5 seconds compared to 8 or 9 for Gemini or local models) at the lowest cost, while remaining better than the offline translation modules available via the chrome provider. It's even slightly better than the online google translate API. The only place it struggles is with Japanese pronouns. In a game it's translated the same string variously as "We have 1500 pieces of experience", "You have 1500 pieces of experience", "I have 1500 pieces of experience", and for some reason "The pieces of experience are 1500." It also once translated the number 87 as 52...for...AI reasons. The number 87 was written in regular English characters in the Japanese text. It just decided to replace it with 52 in the English translation because all AI is deeply weird. But it's fine for playing Japanese and Chinese audiogames/rpgs. #nvdasr

  9. I think I'm the only soul on Earth having this particular issue with #JAWSForWindows2026, and it's maddening.

    Even if the window is maximized, if I have a multi-prompt chat with #ChatGPT in #GoogleChrome or #MicrosoftEdge, go to the bottom of the page, and then use Shift+H to move backward by heading to the most recent response, JAWS just will not read it properly.

    It'll read the first few words of the most recent prompt or response and then suddenly jump several prompts back in the conversation. How do I even explain this one to the #Vispero folks? @[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

    Meanwhile, #NVDA handles the exact same task beautifully. #Yay @[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

  11. @mckensie Oh man, I love Phineas and Ferb. I've seen a few episodes, they're hilarious. And you know what's even better, the Doofenshmirtz's schemes are just so ridiculous. I can totally see it, a universal screen reader that fails, that's genius. And I love the idea of the Double Talk voice being the one to defeat it. I mean, Perry the Platypus is just too cool, but the Double Talk voice is just so annoying, it would be perfect. I'm curious, how did @mcourcel come up with this idea? And by the way, I've heard of Pocket TTS, it's a great plugin for NVDA, I use it all the time. #PhineasAndFerb #NVDA #ScreenReaders

  12. @bitwarden i want an explination!
    i have an on prem vaultwarden server, or bitwarden rs.
    now, i also use it, in edition to storing passwords, p[asskeys!
    and i was able to do that, untill now.
    i use the NVDA screen reader, and chrome!
    it was just showing a blank screen after typing in my master password, fully authenticated!
    and no, this is not an isolated incedent. i tried this with firefox and narrator, all of them had the same problems.
    when i tried again, it wouldn't load at all!
    there is nothing wrong with the server, it is working correctly. i can access my main password manager, i annot access my passkeys!

  14. I've been working on something for about two months now utilizing Codex. It is called iTunes backup extractor. And it does exactly that, if you have a backup folder that you've backed up with the Apple iTunes app on windows or finder on Mac, you can open that folder, and it will extract all the contents within it. This app is not a backup tool. You'll have to back up first before coming to this app. Once you install it, you'll be able to run the app by clicking on it on the desktop and you can click launch after installation. Once everything is extracted, it gets stored under iTunes backup extractor output located under documents. Everything from your sandbox apps, videos, Voice Memos, all your app data, basically anything that is included in an iTunes backup is there. While we have tools like iMazing, it's not as accessible on Windows with #NVDA, although it's slightly better with JAWS but I heard it's better on the Mac. It's the most accessible thing we have now for backup extraction, this app goes well with that. Please boost for those that are interested. If you have any suggestions or issues, let me know here in those comments.

  16. Most tech guides for blind users go stale in a month because they memorize button labels.

    Mine teaches strategies. Headings, landmarks, the two screen reader modes that explain ninety percent of the weird moments. Skills that outlive any update.

    No Sight Required.

  17. TG Spaces 1.0 is out. Free, Windows and macOS.
    A convolution reverb with 190 places in it. None of them recorded —
    each room is built from an acoustics model, so making the room bigger
    builds a bigger room, and walking away from the source moves you.
    Every control speaks its value. Real metres, not percentages. Zero
    degrees means facing the source in all 190 rooms. No custom plugin
    window, deliberately — a drawn interface would look better and work
    worse.
    Huge thanks to my musical icon and brother, @Matthew2468 for ideas and contributions.

  26. hey @ChrisDuffley Quick question regarding the #MorseCode #nVDA addon you contribute to: I'm trying to install it & am having trouble. Would you be willing to provide me some guidance? I've copied both the files themselves, as well as the entire folder into my NVDA addons directory. What might I be missing?

  30. @freedomscientific It would be incredibly helpful if #jaws receives the same support on the #BrailleNoteEvolve as #NVDA. What I mean Is that all keystrokes work the same, regardless of which screen reader the user chooses to use.

  32. CW: USSR
    So according to Reddit, the Soviets had something called the Fonemophone-4 speech synthesizer, based on the Elektronika-60 computer, developed between 1978 and 1991. C'mon, #nvda and #tts guys. Where's my Fonemophone-4 NVDA addon? All you'd have to do is emulate an Elektronika-60; hardware emulation is already being done for Dectalk and Speech Proes and Keynote Gold, so this is a solved problem, right? LOL JK. #USSR #retrocomputing #nvdasr
