What is NVDA?
NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) is a free “screen reader” which enables blind and vision impaired people to use computers. It reads the text on the screen in a computerised voice. You can control what is read to you by moving the cursor to the relevant area of text with a mouse or the arrows on your keyboard.
NVDA can also convert the text into braille if the computer user owns a device called a “braille display”.
NVDA provides the key to education and employment for many blind people. It also provides access to social networking, online shopping, banking and news.

Normally screen readers are expensive, making them unaffordable for many blind people. NVDA is free. It’s been downloaded 70,000+ times, in 43 languages.

During installation, you'll know how it works as it reads everything your mouse hovers using your Windows default text to speech (TTS) engine (in any case you have it in your OS). Aside from this, it has its own speech synthesis engine espeak-NG, so don't you worry yet.
After installation, you'll need to reconfigure the voices to suit your taste. Most Windows TSS engines, are either Sapi4 or Sapi5 compliant. They are mostly medium class voices but acceptable to our hearing. Depending on your OS, you may need to install additional voice engines.
You need to install new TTS engines if you are not satisfied with defaults. Then restart NVDA in order to set them in your GUI.
Sample TTS links: from medium to best
