can someone tell me in #NVDA how do I do a bypass command? I am trying to use the f12 key in my browser, and all it is doing is beeping at me, because it is copying something to the clipboard, but I don't want to do that right now.

@deepseek Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA 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 https://www.nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

Ok, so this is another of those weird questions which I post because people here use their brains more than most. I want to have one NVDA Remote client control two machines at the same time. That is, I want my laptop to control my desktop and my second desktop, but I want both desktop1 and desktop2 to have their NVDA heard through the laptop at the same time. I also want to switch back and forth between the two machines, as well as to and from the laptop itself, with a keystroke. There are two solutions I've found for this, but both are a bit of a mess. I can use thenvdaremote:// URLs to disconnect from desktop1 and connect to desktop2 with one keystroke, and have another keystroke to do the reverse. The problem there is that I can't hear both machines' NVDA at the same time. Also, and this isn't as big a deal, I'm just a perfectionist, switching takes a few seconds. Secondly, I can run a virtual machine and have that connected to desktop2, with the host machine connected to desktop1. That allows easy switching of the keyboard, just alt+tab to the VM window and hit ctrl+g when I want to control desktop2. It also allows both desktops to have their NVDA run through the speaker at the same time and also, which is very nice, allows braille to swap with any display which supports channels. The problem there is the latency of the VM audio, which I can't seem to shrink. It seems a bit overkill, I may say, to run an entire windows OS just for NVDA remote in a VM. Does anyone have any better solutions. Can anyone think of something which would get all three things running, fast switching, simultaneous NVDA, and no latency? Ideas would be very gratefully received and boosts would be appreciated. #NVDA #blind #a11y #screenreader #remote #nvdaremote

I had a nightmare the other night. I dreamt that someone told me we don’t use alt tags for screen readers any more, that there was something new … but nobody would tell me what I could use now.
That said, I admire the NVDA community effort and the fact that its existence has let me get a job I may not have gotten if I insisted on them buying me a Mac and making it work with all their IT systems. And it's about time I learned to use MS Office anyway. My 18 year old Slashdot-posting M$ hater self is cringing somewhere.
#ScreenReader #NVDA #VoiceOver (12/12)
Some quick thoughts I wrote in Facebook in response to someone asking me about my learning to use NVDA on Windows as a long-time macOS VoiceOver user:
OK, sorry this took a while but I wanted to get my thoughts down when I could take some time.
Perspective: I am a very low vision user, becoming dependent on screen readers about 5 years ago and exclusively using Apple products the whole time. (1/12) #ScreenReader #VoiceOver #NVDA
urgh can we at LEAST have a "close all other dialogs and let me do the thing" button in that obnoxious #nvda error that states you can't have more than one dialog open at the same time? 99 out of a 100 times its just the welcome dialog or the addon updates dialog anyway, just dismiss them so I don't have to go hunt for wherever Windows decided to dump them in the alt+tab order , please and thank you #screenreader
Who here uses manual configuration profiles in NVDA? What do you use them for? Do please let us know!
And if you're not sure what configuration profiles are all about, check out the recent In-Process blog, which covered them: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-10th-november-2025/#profiles
@afterdawn Hei! Voisimmeko jotenkin kannustaa sinua käyttämään #NVIDIA-aihetunnistetta, kun viittaat kyseiseen yritykseen? Tiedän heidän NASDAQ-käyttäjätunnuksensa, mutta #NVDA on paljon laajemmin tunnettu valmistamamme näytönlukijan nimellä, ja #NVDA-aihetunnistetta käytetään erittäin laajalti näytönlukijoille. Se estää molempia yhteisöjämme saastuttamasta toistensa syötteitä. Jos haluat oppia lisää näytönlukijoista, verkkosivustomme on https://www.nvaccess.org/ - Kiitos!

@MarcusP @tedu Yes, if you are using NVDA Alpha builds, the NVDA number has gone up by ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN just this past week - from alpha 53423 released on the 14th to 53540 released yesterday. It's very exciting! https://download.nvaccess.org/snapshots/alpha/
Omg thank goodness! There's a PR in NVDA now to have it be able to autoscroll the Braille display!
