NVDA and add-ons

Welcome to the NVDA

NVDA is a very flexible and extensible screen reader. NVDA add-ons are additional
packages that can be downloaded and installed into your copy of NVDA to enhance
existing functionality or add additional features. These add-ons may include
additional features and commands that can be used everywhere, enhancing
support for a program, or add support for a new braille display or a speech
synthesizer.

On these pages, you will find add-ons that have been created by members of the
community. Please note that many of these add-ons are not provided by NV
Access, so NV Access cannot be held responsible for these add-ons.

To install an add-on, go to the NVDA tools menu, then select manage add-ons.
Then select install, navigate to the location where you saved the downloaded add-
on and choose the add-on package you wish to install. Alternatively, if you installed
NVDA 2012.3 or later on your computer, using file manager of your choice,
navigate to the location where you stored the add-on, then press ENTER on the
nvda-add-on file you wish to install.

Once you press Open, or press Enter on the add-on file, NVDA will ask if you really
wish to install the add-on, provided that it is compatible with the NVDA version you
are using. As the functionality of add-ons is unrestricted inside NVDA, which in
theory could include accessing your personal data or even the entire system if
NVDA is an installed copy, it is very important to only install add-ons from sources
you trust. Once the add-on is installed, NVDA must be restarted for the add-on to
start running.

You can subscribe to NVDA Add-ons Central mailing list to talk about how to
write add-ons, get advice to solve specific problems, share news that impacts add-
on developers etc.

If you want to have your add-on listed on this website, please create a pull request
against the addonFiles repository. See the requirements for add-on
submissions for details.

Note that not all add-ons shown on this website are compatible with all NVDA
releases. If you notice that an add-on is no longer actively maintained or is not

compatible with a particular NVDA release, please let the community know.
Incompatible or inactive add-ons will be shown under legacy section, and will be
shown on front page again otherwise. Also, add-on developers may choose to show
beta add-ons only under development section, until a stable version is released.

Please feel free to subscribe to the rss feeds or the add-ons list to be informed on
when new add-ons or a new version of an add-on is made available. The mailing
list includes an optional subgroup to receive, if desired, automated notifications
when documentation or add-ons are updated on this website. Additionally,
developers can set automated notifications about changes in their add-on
repositories to be posted on a dedicated subgroup, to facilitate code reviews and
improve the quality of their work. Developers can request to have their add-ons
listed in this list of add-on repositories to get direct feedback.

The following community supported add-ons are available:
