@xgebi That was why people started using #NVDAsr on Twitter. When we moved over here, I've been jumping on the bots posting about NVIDIA with #NVDA - though NVDA is their stock code, I have never seen a genuine human post about them using that & I would put money on no actual human has ever searched for them using NVDA rather than NVIDIA. The point of hashtags is to find related content, so if they stick to NVIDIA & we stick to NVDA, it lets each community find what they want without pollution.

I bundled my #NVDASR notification sounds plugin into an NVDA add-on and added a Settings GUI to configure it. It's not on the add-on store though. http://files.jantrid.net/notificationSounds.nvda-addon

Anyone else experience the stupid bug in #NVDASR 2026.x where sliders do not say custom values provided by an application but instead say the raw value of where it is? I see this in #Pubsplash when I get to the volume sliders for each device etc. It's pretty stupid if you ask me. NVDA 2025.3.3 does not do this, but I'm about to disable all add-ons and look into this further. The value is "20" for "100%" if the volume is boosted and so on. It's really annoying.

Amiyah is a new PC user who really likes NVDA Remote Access! "It helps when I don’t know how to download stuff on my computer. or when I’m stuck on something, my friends can connect and help me out. I like that it’s free and also it helps other blind people so once again thank you.”

Thank you Amiyah! Have you tried NVDA Remote Access yet? It's new in NVDA 2025.1! https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2025-1-2/
