About this episode
Discover why NVDA is a favourite screen reader for blind users, how its add-ons transform productivity, and the keyboards that can supercharge your workflow.
Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive deep into NVDA, the free Windows screen reader, exploring why it’s winning over long-time JAWS users like Steven. They share hands-on experiences with add-ons like Favourite Links, Audio Manager, and YouTube Downloader, plus how customising keyboards and numpads with pass-through keys can completely change your workflow. The discussion also touches on the pros and cons of JAWS versus NVDA, the power of community-created add-ons, and the promise of vibe coding for creating accessible tools.
