Dear all Wish you all a very happy new year. NVDA India team is contributing in development of a screen reader, NVDA. The team has achieved some milestones and we will be contributing more.
In order to plan for 2015 an beyond, we are seeking your input. Access India has been a great community and we think it can provide valuable feedback. So It would be great if you could provide suggestions for improvements in NVDA. For example, you could ask for adding support for a specific application or a feature in NVDA that would help professionally or academically. Please note, any suggestion must be supported by example or reasoning, so that it is easy for us to decide the priority. To put it differently, If you could answer the question why it is needed for each suggestion, we would be able to decide faster. Please note, Phinacle and tally is already in our to-do list and we are already trying to work out for solutions for these apps. Before we conclude, we want to share some of the achievements of the Indian development team for NVDA. * Completion of basic support of Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujrati, Assamese, Malayalam and Telugu. Please note, work on a language is an ongoing process, but the team has managed to provide a basic support to the above stated language's with which a person can work with NVDA satisfactorily without much discomfort. This complete basic support will be available soon. * Work is going on for other Indian languages; Oriya, Manipuri, Marathi, Sindhi, Kannada and Konkani. * The team is also conducting training workshops for these Indian regional languages in the respective states. We are optimistic that support of these Indian languages to a screen reader and with easy to use in-built MS Windows keyboards for regional languages that are available for free will help increase employment options and will be useful academically. We have fixed some major issues in NVDA, such as, * The documents that are received as the attachments go in protected mode. Such documents were not read by NVDA. Our Indian developers have fixed this critical issue. * Bulleted lists were not read appropriately in MS Word documents. This issue is now resolved. * The automatic suggestions of Outlook address fields were not announced. This issue is now sorted. There are many more important issues that are resolved by the Indian development team. Some new features that will be included in NVDA international build soon are: * Support for Excel charts. Now Excel charts will be read and a person will be able to analyze the Excel charts in much better way than ever before. * Better support of many of the Unicode symbols Please send your responses to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Awaiting for your responses.
