Welcome to Using NVDA

If you found this site you probably already know that NVDA is a screen reader that was created to be free and open source. Its primary web presence can be found at: NV Access. This page has been created for those learning to use NVDA to provide not just the keystrokes, which you can find in a number of places online, but to present more information, tips and examples. There is a link to a Contact Sue page if you have tried something and you need more information.

A couple of special notes. First, this site is not affiliated with NVACCESS.ORG, however it strongly supports the work that they have done. Please go to their site and make a donation so that development and maintenance can remain strong. Another thing is that I've found that many NVDA users previously used other screen readers or started with screen magnification with speech and have moved to NVDA. As appropriate here you will find comments about making transitions such as this that should help you move forward with learning as much as you need to be as independent as you want when reading and interacting with webpages.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

Helen Keller

I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't been able to hear.

Ray Charles

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Mark Twain

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision.
