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? @mastoblind in c/[email protected]

@Boomkop3 Ah I was using it right up until I lost my sight in early 2020

Ok @mastoblind what do people use for their mastodon client on Windows with #NVDA? I have tried the web client but it's so so cluttered and there's no way to move through the feeds quickly. I'm in c/[email protected]

@main @mastoblind So I ended up using DragonsCave itself installed As a PWA with the advanced web interface enabled.

Edit: Turned the advanced web interface off as it made reading replies clunky.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Any idea why boosting is not going through? I boosted a few things and when I checked on my phone they were not.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind With the display and braille extender the hotkeys do not work, and most of them still do not but I can arrow down my feed without it stopping on every mention, link, and button.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Ok lol logged in, hotkeys did not work, realized I was in focus mode, had to look up how to get out of it with the display, realized most of my problems with the standard client were because of that…'

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Not at all, I would rather a Web App over installing software, I looked through the windows store before asking but the options were scarce.

@KaraLG84 @main @mastoblind ah ok, that's what I get for trusting search engines these days.

@KaraLG84 @main @mastoblind That one I have looked at before and am not sure where you get it, it's a GitHub thing?

@pixelate @main @mastoblind That did not allow other instances I thought.

@main @mastoblind Ok coming up on a month in and my #Beelink EQR6 #MiniPC has been great, best experience with a computer since I went #Blind. I have it set up as an always on headless device that I am operating with bluetooth headphones, my Bi40x #BrailleDisplay, and #NVDA.

@mastoblind Update on my #miniPC, it has been the best experience I have had with a computer since becoming #blind. has been up almost constantly for the not quite 2 weeks I have had it, only in c/[email protected]

@main @mastoblind going on 3 weeks, extremely happy with it.

As it is the start of the month I shall do some shameless promoting of https://ourblind.com/ for all the #blind, #deafblind, #lowvision, and #visuallyimpaired people around. @mastoblind (dragonscave.space)

@main @NVAccess So if this is a known thing I cannot find it, when closing some applications, Edge for example, with alt+f4 #NVDA does not focus anything afterward and instead just says "Window" which is also displayed on my braille display as a window marker and blank otherwise. This blank window requires using alt+tab, the windows key, or the like to get out of.

@main @mastoblind Update on my #miniPC, it has been the best experience I have had with a computer since becoming #blind. has been up almost constantly for the not quite 2 weeks I have had it, only restarting for updates and such, it's happy as a clam to just be left alone and do its thing.

Ok, @mastoblind so I have a quandary, I got a new PC, it works great, I have been using it ton with #NVDA and my #BrailleDisplay, and I have realized I have no clue what to do with a PC… I have in c/[email protected]

@fastfinge Yeah maybe, the machine I got should be able to handle some of that.

@mastoblind Ok anyone know if there's a screen saver type add on for #NVDA that will update focus? Due to either something with NVDA itself, or just good old #Microsoft being stupid it appears in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

@main @mastoblind I did find making sure the focus is over the system clock when disconnecting the display and leaving the PC idle does work for this, the clock causes #NVDA to update every minute which will update the display and bring it back to working without needing to do anything with the qwerty.

@main @mastoblind Ok anyone know if there's a screen saver type add on for #NVDA that will update focus? Due to either something with NVDA itself, or just good old #Microsoft being stupid it appears that #BrailleDisplay connected over bluetooth cannot clear screen savers, or do really anything after being disconnected for any amount of time without first moving the focus via something like a Qwerty keyboard. All that's needed is something that would overlay a few objects after nothing has updated focus for a bit, and then just juggle it between them.

@mastoblind @NVAccess is there a way to have #NVDA input commands like Win+I or Alt+F4 when operated with a #BrailleDisplay? I cannot find an option to do this. (dragonscave.space)
