Download NVDA

If you like NVDA and want it to continue to improve, please consider  donating to NV Access.


NVDA comes 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: an archive containing 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.

Downloads for the installer and portable packages are available below. If you want to run from source code, see AccessingAndRunningSourceCode.

Stable Release: 2009.1 (recommended for most users)

Development Snapshots

If you want to try out the very latest bleeding edge code and you don't want to run from 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 may not be stable, they may not have been tested and they possibly may not work at all.
