You can find the testimonial in text below, or read by NVDA using Microsoft David at 75% in the video. <a href="mailto:info@nvaccess.org">Please do let us know what you think</a> of having NVDA read the text for the video?</p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/So1knAPNi3Y" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <blockquote><p>“Hello, I’m Harun from Turkey! When I first heard about NVDA, I was reluctant to try something new. After a few years, I realized it was time for a new screen reader. And yes! In fact, this is exactly the time I met NVDA!</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun1-502x282.jpg" alt="Quote in purple on white with purple corner: "I was surprised by its small size and very fast operation"" width="502" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-31428" srcset="https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun1-502x282.jpg 502w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun1-556x313.jpg 556w" sizes="(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px" /></p> <p>When I saw its loader, I was surprised at how light it was. I remember when I installed it on my computer, I was quite surprised by its small size and therefore its very fast operation. Then I started taking a closer look at NVDA, it’s one of my favourite aspects of it; was that its entire interface was localized. This helped me a lot in getting to know NVDA. Another thing I like about him: Having a user guide. It is possible to find answers to all questions about NVDA there. Moreover, in your own language! As I got to know NVDA, I realized that it appealed to me and that NVDA was actually what I had been looking for for years.</p> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun3-502x282.jpg" alt="Quote in purple on white with turquoise corner: "NVDA was actually what I had been looking for for years"" width="502" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-31429" srcset="https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun3-502x282.jpg 502w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun3-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun3-556x313.jpg 556w" sizes="(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px" /></p> <p>One of the many things I like about it is that you can <a href="https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-21st-december-2023/#portable">create a portable copy</a>, either from an installer or from your installed NVDA. While doing this, you can also copy the settings of your installed NVDA to your portable NVDA. Isn’t this a wonderful thing? Take it anywhere and just connect the USB to the computer you’ll be at for a few minutes and run your NVDA via USB without having to redo all the settings! Not to mention the magnificence of being simple, user-friendly, understandable and especially being an open-source project.</p> <p>In addition to developers, users can support with their ideas. Or when we experience an error, we can report it to NV Access via social media or open an <a href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues">issue on GitHub</a>. In this way, we can see that problems are eliminated more quickly. Or we can see a feature we want very much in NVDA, if the conditions are suitable. For me, NVDA is much more than a screen reader. I would like to thank the entire NV Access staff for connecting us with NVDA! I would also like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to share all these thoughts.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.nvaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Harun4-502x282.jpg" alt="Quote in purple on white with orange corner: "Isn't this a wonderful thing?

Support and support the accessibility of screen readers!”</BLOCKQUOTE></p> <p>Thank you so much Harun. It is wonderful to hear from users and particularly to hear how NVDA has helped make your life easier.
