Microsoft provides grant to improve NVDA

Microsoft has recently decided to support  NV Access and the NVDA screen reader project by providing funding and support that will allow NV Access to improve NVDA in two key areas:

  • Allowing NVDA to support Microsoft's UI Automation API in Windows 7 (the next Microsoft Windows Operating System); and
  • Improving NVDA's support for Microsoft Internet Explorer and other related applications.

Please visit the NV Access site for a  more detailed blog post.

This is really good news, especially for those who only want to use Internet Explorer. Microsoft is a great company and I look forward to the days and weeks ahead. Jake'
