Dear All,
Apologies for somewhat late information. As you all know that NVDA 2015.2 was out a couple of months back. This email is update about the contributions made by NVDA India team. As you would remember that on this list we had conducted a survey about the features that all of us want to see in future releases of NVDA. I know some of us might already know about the features that have been added by India team, but still find below a complete update. Following is from what’s new of 2015.2 In new features, first 5 such as next and previous sentence navigation in Microsoft word, Indian Braille tables, cell overlap information in excel, reading excel charts, and listing of charts, comments, and formulas in excel are fixes from Indian team. In bug fixes, 2 issues i.e. Character descriptions are now handled correctly for conjunct characters in certain Indian languages and When selecting colors in Microsoft Office applications, color names are now reported are from Indian team. Thanks for your support. We are trying to fix as many issues as possible, but we are limited by the resources to support our development efforts so we could not fix many of the issues that we wanted.
