On March 2, I did some investigating on a free screen reader called NVDA. Although this screen reader has been discussed in earlier conferences and reviews, I was curious to find out if there had been any improvements to the software.
To my pleasant surprise, I found out that, Sure enough, NVDA, in the last year or so, has made significant improvements when using Microsoft word.
The most noticeable change is that the user now has the option to be able to check if there is bolding, underlining, and tab spacing in their document. These features do also exist in other screen readers, such as Jaws and Window Eyes; however, there is a reason, which I will come back to later, as to why I am so happy that this has now been implemented in NVDA.
