Media Access Australia WA Project Manager, Dr Scott Hollier says, “Itinerant teachers of the blind have been asking us for some time for information on how basic tasks in Windows can be achieved using NVDA. Designed as an easy-to-use guide, rather then a complex manual, the wikispace provides basic information on installing NVDA, tools for navigating the Internet and creating a WordPad document, and includes links to other resources.

The wikispace was created with assistance from NV Access, who created NVDA. It communicates the contents of a computer screen via synthetic speech and Braille, enabling people who are blind or vision impaired to perform computer tasks such as searching the internet and writing documents. The NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA) is a free and open source screen reader for the Microsoft Windows operating system.
