Hi, NVDA is the second screen reader for Windows to take advantage of this (Narrator was the first in 2012). Note that this feature will work on Windows 8 and higher and with NVDA installed (because audio ducking requires right privileges to be held by a screen reader; I'd be happy to give you a backstage tour on audio ducking offlist). Cheers, Joseph

I normally don't mention updates but this one is a significant update when it comes to audio, the latest version of NVDA now has "Audio Ducking" which other Screen Reading software - though to my knowledge not for Windows - has had for quite some time. "Audio Ducking" is the effect of "Ducking" the level of audio whilst the Screen Reader is speaking, for example if you're listening to music and a Windows 10 Notification comes up NVDA will reduce the level of the music playing so the Screen Reader can be easily heard. http://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2016-1-now-available/ -- ********** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
