NV Access develops and supports free and open source software that facilitates access to technology for blind and vision impaired people.Our flagship product is NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access). This is a free "screen reader" which enables blind and vision impaired people to use computers. It reads the text on the screen in a computerised voice. You can control what is read to you by moving the cursor to the relevant area of text with a mouse or the arrows on your keyboard. NVDA can also convert the text into braille if the computer user owns a device called a "braille display".NVDA provides the key to education and employment for many blind people. It also provides access to social networking, online shopping, banking and news.The training material available here is designed to complement NVDA by teaching proficiency in the use of the screen reader with Microsoft Windows and other programs.The purchase price supports the work on NV Access and offsets the development cost of NVDA, the free screen reader.NV Access can be found at: http://www.nvaccess.org/
