Virtual Review

  • Authors: Rui Fontes, Rui Batista and NVDA Addon Team
  • Download stable version
  • NVDA compatibility: 2019.3 and beyond

This Addon allows NVDA users to review a Window content in a text box, similar to window virtualization of JAWS for Windows. Note, however, that this is just a convenience for users and does not replace NVDA's excellent review modes and object navigation support.

Usage

Press NVDA+control+w to open the virtual revision Window. Then simply navigate the shown textbox as you do in any other text content. You can press Escape to close the virtual revision window.
