  14. I'm working on a cross-platform mobile client for NVDA remote! Here is a very early demo, if you're willing to give me 41 seconds of your time. Let me know what you think! audiopub.site/listen/c4e6c65f-

  15. So with the new NVDA Remote, what key do people use for control switching? F11 was pretty nice and will definitely need to get used to something new. I use NVDA+Alt+R for now.

  16. Am I the only one who loves #NVDARemote is coming to the core of #NVDASR, and that even that fast?

  18. @collinsworth The #NVDARemote project for the #NVDASR screen reader is a brilliant example of this.
    JAWS, the only viable commercial competition to the #opensource NVDA can cost up to £2,100 for an employee to use it given the right (or rather wrong) conditions.
    JAWS has a feature called Tandem to let you control another machine.
    A £12,000 croudfunding campaign in 2015 provided an opensource
    alternative to this control for NVDA users.
    Given the number of servers I've had to spin up over the last decade at work, I'd have spent about half of that on JAWS licensing to do my job. This software sits there, running on the cheapest VPS's or smallest Pi Zeros. It took investment, but I and hundreds of blind people use it daily now.
