NVDA - Download

Download Details

NVDA can come packaged in three ways:

• NVDA Installer: an easy to use talking installer that will set up NVDA on your computer for you, so you can easily run it from the Start Menu
• NVDA Portable Distribution: a zip file that contains a ready to run portable version that can be run from anywhere on your hard drive, a USB drive or even from a CD
• Source Code: this is all the code that has not yet been compiled. This can be run only if you have Python and some other libraries installed

Stable Release (0.5)

Preview Release (0.6p1)

Preview releases provide a preview of the upcoming stable release. They may contain regressions from the previous stable release and their may be major issues which must be fixed prior to the upcoming stable release. Nevertheless, we will endeavour to make them as stable as possible. They thus allow users to run newer code without the uncertainty associated with development snapshots. For more information about the reason behind preview releases, see the Release Status article.

Development Snapshots

If you want to try out the very latest bleeding edge code and you don't want to have to play with Python and Subversion or compile the source code, you can go to the Snapshots page to download a copy of NVDA compiled straight out of the development code.

Please be aware that these snapshots are not stable, they may not have been tested, and they possibly may not work at all.

Source Code

The source code is stored in a Subversion repository. All changes made are tracked, and it is easy to get the code for any revision of NVDA you like. Read the Accessing and Running Source Code wiki article to find out how to get the source.
