Hi Access Indians,
As you know, The NVDA India team primarily works on requirements raised in India. We are eager to hear from the users of NVDA about challenges that they face while using NVDA. We prioritize the feature requests according to number of requests for any features or its impact on employability and education. Anything that will make NVDA work better with Indian languages is also our top priority as these issues never get priority by non-Indian developers. Thus, if there are any issues that you would like to report, please report them on NVDA issue tracker on github https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues and forward the ticket number and description to sumandog...@gmail.com Sean Randall has written a nice blog on LinkedIn about the features: NVDASR doesn't just have new features, it adds them beautifully https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nvdasr-doesnt-just-have-new-features-adds-the m-sean-randall A brief description of these features follows: Support of protected excel sheets: in a protected sheet if a cell selection is disabled, NVDA was not able to read the content in that cell. NVDA users can now navigate to those cells using browse mode. During the browse mode, NVDA would also announce whether a cell is unlocked so that users can press enter to move the focus to that cell. Listing and renaming of Microsoft Excel sheets: while working with large number of sheets, users often need a way to list all the sheets. So we have added an option to list sheets in elements list dialog. Users can also change the name of sheets in this list with f2 command. This command is added because NVDA was not working in the rename sheets dialog of excel. Reporting input messages or tooltips in Microsoft Excel: NVDA now reads special messages added in Excel cells known as input messages. These messages help users to fill proper values for excel forms. For details checkout the announcement for 2015.4 at http://www.nvaccess.org/post/announcing-nvda-2015-4-release/ Also note, if it is the e-speak voice that is holding you back from exploring NVDA, then you can acquire license for Eloquence, Lekha and Sangita voices from Saksham.
