One of the new features coming in NVDA 2024.2 is “Sound Split. This feature allows splitting NVDA sounds into one channel (e.g. left) while sounds from all other applications are directed to the other channel (e.g. right). VI Techability telegram channel.
The options for Sound Split are found in the “Audio” settings. Press NVDA+control+u to open this settings page directly. Alternatively, press NVDA+n to open the menu, then p for preferences, then enter to open settings. With Settings open, press control+tab to “Audio”. vitechability
There are eight options for sound split:
• Sound Split Disabled
• NVDA in both channels and applications in both channels
• NVDA on the left and applications on the right
• NVDA on the left and applications in both channels
• NVDA on the right and applications on the left
• NVDA on the right and applications in both channels
• NVDA in both channels and applications on the left
• NVDA in both channels and applications on the right
You can save how NVDA behaves (e.g. if you always want to have say NVDA on the left and applications on the right). You can also set which modes are available when using the new “Cycle Sound Split Mode” command. The command, NVDA+alt+s, cycles between any modes selected on this screen.

Subject: Feature Ideas for Be My Eyes on Windows
Dear Be My Eyes Team,
I'm writing to express my sincere gratitude for bringing your award-winning "Be My Eyes" app to Windows. It's been a tremendous help in increasing my independence.
I'd like to propose a few features that could further enhance the app's functionality:
Adding Additional Pictures:
Currently, the app allows describing various elements like the screen, camera captures, and files. I believe the ability to attach multiple pictures within each "Describe" option would be incredibly beneficial.
Imagine wanting to compare two outfits for a meeting. With this feature, I could upload pictures of both and have the AI describe which one looks best overall. Similarly, before a video call, I could take a picture and ask if I'm properly visible. If not, I could adjust and attach another picture within the same chat session to see if the adjustments improved my visibility.
Text Navigation:
The ability to navigate text while reading AI image descriptions would also be a significant improvement. Currently, screen readers read the entire description aloud. However, navigation features like word-by-word or line-by-line movement would significantly enhance my ability to comprehend and efficiently process the information.
These features would greatly benefit visually impaired users like myself by increasing our independence and improving our experience with the Be My Eyes app.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your feedback and the possibility of seeing these features implemented soon.
Sincerely,
VI Techability

Hello friends,
You are all aware that Be My Eyes is now available on Windows, and it has been a valuable app for us, especially with its AI image description feature. However, the app could be even more useful if it allowed us to attach additional pictures within the same chat session and enabled text navigation for image descriptions, such as reading word by word or line by line with the help of a screen reader.
I have already suggested these features to the Be My Eyes team, but I believe that one email might not be enough. Therefore, let's conduct an experiment. I urge everyone in this channel to write an email to the Be My Eyes team, requesting the addition of these features to the Windows app.
To make this easier, I have provided a prompt you can use with ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other generative AI to write your email. If you prefer not to use AI, you can refer to the sample email I have provided and write a similar one, or simply copy and paste the sample email. The contact links and email addresses for Be My Eyes are given below.
Note: If you generate the email using the provided prompt with a generative AI, please make sure to check for any mistakes before sending it.
note2: please spread this message as much as you can.
Thank you for your support!

As discussed on Mozilla Connect, Firefox 130 will introduce an experimental new capability to automatically generate alt-text for images using a fully private on-device AI model. The feature will be available as part of Firefox’s built-in PDF editor, and our end goal is to make it available in general browsing for users with screen readers.
Why alt text?
Web pages have a fundamentally simple structure, with semantics that allow the browser to interpret the same content differently for different people based on their own needs and preferences. This is a big part of what we think makes the Web special, and what enables the browser to act as a user agent, responsible for making the Web work for people.
This is particularly useful for assistive technology such as screen readers, which are able to work alongside browser features to reduce obstacles for people to access and exchange information. For static web pages, this generally can be accomplished with very little interaction from the site, and this access has been enormously beneficial to many people.
But even for a simple static page there are certain types of information, like alternative text for images, that must be provided by the author to provide an understandable experience for people using assistive technology (as required by the spec). Unfortunately, many authors don’t do this: the Web Almanac reported in 2022 that nearly half of images were missing alt text.
Until recently it’s not been feasible for the browser to infer reasonably high quality alt text for images, without sending potentially sensitive data to a remote server. However, latest developments in AI have enabled this type of image analysis to happen efficiently, even on a CPU.
We are adding a feature within the PDF editor in Firefox Nightly to validate this approach. As we develop it further and learn from the deployment, our goal is to offer it for users who’d like to use it when browsing to help them better understand images which would otherwise be inaccessible.
Generating alt text with small open source models
We are using Transformer-based machine learning models to describe images. These models are getting good at describing the contents of the image, yet are compact enough to operate on devices with limited resources. While can’t outperform a large language model like GPT-4 Turbo with Vision, or LLaVA, they are sufficiently accurate to provide valuable insights on-device across a diversity of hardware.
Model architectures like BLIP or even VIT that were trained on datasets like COCO (Common Object In Context) or Flickr30k are good at identifying objects in an image. When combined with a text decoder like OpenAI’s GPT-2, they can produce alternative text with 200M or fewer parameters. Once quantized, these models can be under 200MB on disk, and run in a couple of seconds on a laptop – a big reduction compared to the gigabytes and resources an LLM requires. Example Output
The image below (pulled from the COCO dataset) is described by: FIREFOX

good news for Bluetooth and other wireless headphone, speakers and earpods users.
there will be a new option in nvda 2024.2. this new option on the audio settings is “time to keep audio device awake after speech”.
This edit box specifies how long NVDA keeps the audio device awake after speech ends. This allows NVDA to avoid certain speech glitches like dropped parts of words. This can happen due to audio devices (especially Bluetooth and wireless devices) entering standby mode. This might also be helpful in other use cases, such as when running NVDA inside a virtual machine (e.g. Citrix Virtual Desktop), or on certain laptops.

What's new in NVDA 2024.3?
The Add-on Store will now notify you if any add-on updates are available on NVDA startup.
There are now options to apply Unicode normalization to speech and braille output. This can be useful when reading characters that are unknown to a particular speech synthesizer or braille table and which have a compatible alternative, like the bold and italic characters commonly used on social media. It also allows reading of equations in the Microsoft Word equation editor.

There are now options to apply Unicode normalization to speech and braille output. This can be useful when reading characters that are unknown to a particular speech synthesizer or braille table and which have a compatible alternative, like the bold and italic characters commonly used on social media. It also allows reading of equations in the Microsoft Word equation editor.

Voiceover Users – has a recent YouTube App update left you unable to comment? Here’s a fix!
In recent weeks we became aware that a recent You tube App update has left you unable to comment on videos. It appears that the App was updated in late July and while you could still play videos, if you decided to comment on one, your voiceover could not find the send comment button.
Since around iOS16 voiceover got a clever addition called ‘screen recognition’ and if you’ve never looked into what this feature can do, then it’s time to give it a twirl and see if it ‘fixes’ your cumbersome app.
Note: When turning on Screen Recognition, there is a small download from the internet of around 30mb to complete the setup, so make sure your mobile data or Wi-Fi is on before commencing the instructions below.
1. To access the ‘Screen Recognition feature, simply head over to the settings menu. From there go into the accessibility settings, now open Voiceover settings,
2. navigate down to ‘Voiceover Recognition.’
3. In here open ‘Screen Recognition’ and make sure the switch in set to ‘on.’
4. Next item down on this page you need to open the ‘Apply to Apps’ page.
5. Find YouTube (or indeed any other app behaving badly) and double tap to select it.
Now exit the settings menu and try YouTube again. It should be possible now to post your comment on a video. This ‘Screen Recognition’ feature can be applied to any App on your phone, so if you have another App or two that Voiceover isn’t working as well as it should – simply repeat the above steps to see if it solves the issue.
Note, for easy access Screen recognition will also appear on your Rotor where you can turn it on or off as you need it. It is best to have it off for apps that work well with Voiceover.
