Welcome to NV Access
NV Access is a non-profit organisation based in Australia. We are dedicated to the ideal that access to technology should not incur an extra cost for blind and vision impaired users. We believe that blind and vision impaired people should be able to use any type of technology for the same cost as their sighted peers. To that end, our primary aim is to support projects which provide free and open source computer software solutions that enable this accessibility.
We develop and support NVDA, an award-winning, free, open source screen reader for Microsoft Windows. For more information and to download a copy, please visit the NVDA web site.
We also provide a range of training, support and accessibility consulting services. Please see our Services page for more details.
Sponsors
Major sponsors of NV Access are Mozilla Corporation and Adobe Systems Inc who are enabling full-time development of NVDA. Past sponsors include Yahoo! Inc and Microsoft Corporation. Many thanks also go to all the individuals who have made financial donations.
