Some of the menu items are simply not even showing up to Talkback so even a

I’m hearing a lot on this group about UDID card, but I am still not sure what

Hello to all on this thread.
For Narrator to become a screen-reader of preference, the most important
consideration is that it must be customizable for Apps that have not been
specifically designed with standard Windows controls, tab-orders, and labelled
graphics to name a few. The

UDID card is for Indian citizens if I am right..

If I remember correctly support for Whatsapp App only starts with Jaws 2022 or

If that's what you have you don't have to do anything else.

To adjust system volume press Start button with Windows key, type Sound Mixer

Hope this helps.
Hi, Wow! that is fantastic! Jaws for Whatsapp also has some shortcuts scripted

I suspect scripting for NVDA’s Add-ons are probably somewhat harder to do than
