@main @mastoblind @NVAccess do any of my fellow #NVDA #ScreenReader users know if the #Braille Extender add on is going to be updated to be compatible with NVDA 2026 and the shift to full 64b?

Ok so I cannot really explain what in particular failed, but Microsoft's Copilot Vision and #NVDA do not play nice. I wanted to see if it could give me real time descriptions of whatever was under my focus, which it did a decent job of. However, it repeatedly caused NVDA to just completely cease responding, while also seeming to go not responding itself, I had to wait a few minutes each time For input and speech to return. I was still receiving notifications from other apps and programs, but navigation attempts, the just pressing the windows key, did nothing until it recovered.

Ok so does anyone know why with #NVDA I cannot send an email in #Outlook? I hit reply, type the email, and cannot exit the edit area and find the send button. Latest release builds of Windows 11 pro, and Nvda 225. @main @mastoblind @NVAccess

Ok I debated making this but it cannot hurt. I hope all my fellow #Blind, #DeafBlind, and #VisuallyImpaired people, along with their family, friends, and others have had a great time at the #ACB and/or #NFB 2025 conventions. I am taking this time, and the increased activity on certain hashtags to do some shameless promotion of #OurBlind. OurBlind comprises the Discord, Lemmy, and Reddit communities operated by the staff of the r/Blind subreddit, as well as those who have joined since the creation of the Discord in 2022, and Lemmy in 2023.

Ok so I am not sure if it's just a change with the #NVDA 2025 update or not, but my method of making sure my #BrailleDisplay wakes when I reconnect it, leaving focus on the system tray clock, has stopped working. The time will still be read when it updates but if the display has just reconnected it will not change off just reading "braille display", which as long as that's all that is being shown you cannot use the display to input anything. If anyone has thoughts of a setting or add-on that will make it so I can be sure the display will fully wake and accept input when reconnecting I'm all ears.

@main @mastoblind @NVAccess

Ok @main @mastoblind give me your suggestions for must have #NVDA add-ons. I operate my PC completely with a #BrailleDisplay over bluetooth, and have the Braille Extender, Resource Monitor, and Windows Essentials add-ons that I remember. If an add-on is not in the store please include a link.

Ok for my more up to date tech inclined #blind people, is CCleaner still a valid tool, is it #accessible, and does it work with #NVDA? @main @mastoblind
