    Thanks everyone for your ongoing patience. We are pleased to confirm checking for NVDA updates now works again.

    Thanks to not needing a license check, there was never any other impact to NVDA & its functionality.

    Expert certification & snapshot builds are still paused & shop purchases are still being processed manually.

    We’re making progress, and once again we do thank everyone for your support and patience! If you do need anything, please do reach out to [email protected].















  • NVDA 2024.4 Beta 3 is now available!

    Changes introduced in Beta 3:

    Updated LibLouis Braille translator to 3.31.0.

    • Fixed translation of numbers in Spanish Braille.

    • New Braille tables:

    • Thai grade 1

    • Greek international Braille (single-cell accented letters)

    • Renamed tables:

    • “Thai 6 dot” was renamed to “Thai grade 0” for consistency reasons.

    • The existing “Greek international braille” table was renamed to “Greek international braille (2-cell accented letters)” to clarify the distinction between the two Greek systems.

    Updates to translations.

  • Continuing my trend of being a bit late posting - NVDA 2024.4 Beta 2 is now available: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2024-4beta2/

    Changes introduced in Beta 2:

    • The stability of NVDA’s Poedit support has been improved with the side effect that the minimum required version of Poedit is now version 3.5.
    • NVDA no longer freezes while checking for add-on updates.
    • Updates to translations.

    Note that “NVDA is no longer as sluggish when arrowing up and down through large files in VS Code.” is listed on the release announcement as a new update - this was included in Beta 1 and inadvertently carried over to the Beta 2 announcement.
