Watch the recording of the meetup and read our recap blog post if you want to learn more about how to configure NVDA for testing websites. If you want to get started with screen reader testing, NVDA is available for free download. About the Topicĭuring the WordPress Accessibility Meetup on November 4th, Glen Walker, Principal Accessibility Architect at TIAA, provided a detailed walk-through of key settings for popular, open source screen reader for Windows, NVDA.

This post has a recap of our Meetup that took place on Thursday, November 4, 2021, and a video recording of the presentation. I've shortened the descriptions of the following commands in the list because the information I've removed is redundant and applies to all of them.As part of our commitment to giving back and sharing knowledge, we have partnered with the WordPress Foundation’s community team to run an official WordPress Meetup centered around building more accessible websites with WordPress. Note the pattern in the following commands: Those interested may want to check the user guide or quick reference guide or other sources but the following commands are either all or almost all of them.

If there are any other minor ones, I am not aware of them. The following commands are used in review mode. Once you are finished in review mode, don't forget to return to object navigation. If you are already in screen review, you will hear no next review mode. You may have to use it more than once, depending on if you are someplace where document review is active. To enter screen review, use the command numpad insert numpad 7. Laptop commands are available in the 'User Guide' and the 'Quick Commands Reference.' I am using desktop commands in this discussion. In screen review, you can only move through what is being displayed on the screen. Using object navigation, you can move through the entire document.

to give one example, if you open a large document in a word processor, the entire document is one object. In object review, you can move to information not shown on screen. You are moving around the screen, the same screen that a sighted person sees and you can move to what is on the screen. Screen review is much more simple and easy to explain than object navigation.
