Oh wow. Two bugs I can already see in the #NVDASR 2025.1 remote's implementation that I absolutely dislike:
- When muting the remote computer, with the "mute remote" option, this was reworked so that any time the remote machine speaks, it gets unmuted again. This makes the feature useless now, because I do this often when I'm on another laptop, have headphones connected through my desktop through which my work laptop is connected. I know, I'm complicated, 3 computers. But this is when using "mute remote" on that secondary laptop, like the HP I just got back finally today, really helps. Thanks NVDA for breaking it.
- If connected to a remote computer, and your remote computer disconnects but you left control inside the remote session on the target, you cannot switch back out of the remote session, because it will just keep saying, "no computers are connected." Now, again, I do the "host control server" thing, so I don't know if this applies to when connecting to a server directly, but it means that you are stuck in a non-functional target machine until your remote host reconnects. Also, very very bad.
Both of them are horrible and make NVDA's remote implementation quite different from the add-ons.

Hoping some #NVDASR user who uses #chrome with #GoogleDocs can shed some light on this to help a friend. When she goes into a new document in Docs, she isn't able to type, and I am unable to reproduce the issue. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Boosts welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

Is it just me or did #Geekbench break accessibility with #NVDASR again?
Another related thing, anyone else discovered that since a few days, when alt-tabbing into electron applications which were in focus mode, they just tend to hang and need to be completely restarted, for example Joplin or Discord. Have those apps just made an update, or is this another #NVDASR thing? I can't see a reason though, NVDA made no updates recently. I'm on the same version I've been on for months now, 24.4.2.

Happy Open-Source Day!*
Open-Source brings so many benefits. NV Access is proud to be part of the community, from welcoming code contributions, to decreasing cost for users around the world. It's easy to see why "Open-Source First" is a popular policy for governments & companies everywhere.
(*At least in Florence, Italy - a quick search found several dates this year - Open Source not only brings innovation, but also choice!)

Has anyone thought about making a #virtual #Braille #display for #Windows that would hijack the touch screen for use with #NVDASR or #JAWS as a Braille input device, and allow using things like a mode for navigation with dot taps like command mode with #BrailleScreenInput on #iOS with #VoiceOver? I'd pay for this. #Accessibility.
This is a long shot I know, but I know there were versions of the iOS Siri voices floating around for NVDA at one point. Does anyone have up to date addons of these voices somewhere and would be willing to share? If so, please feel free to reply or dm if you don't wish it to be public. #Windows #accessibility #screenreader #NVDASR #TTS
