NVDA 0.5 Released

Finally after two and a half months of hard work, we are glad to release the long-awaited NVDA version 0.5. This version contains over forty changes, including
many bug fixes and some pretty cool new features.

NVDA now comes with the
eSpeak
synthesizer built right in, meaning that NVDA no longer depends on SAPI4 or SAPI 5 to speak. This lite-weight, free, and open source synth supports over
twenty different languages, and is very responsive.

NVDA now comes packaged with an easy to use talking installer, which allows you to install NVDA on your computer with out sighted assistance or the use
of another screen reader. Once NVDA is installed, you can now run it both from the start menu, and by pressing control+alt+n. For users wishing to run
NVDA off a USB thumb drive or CD, you still of course have the option of downloading a portable zip file version.

I think this is a very impressive screen reader because the development is pretty quick and there are interesting features. Also, it works with a lot of programs. Go to the
