Subject: NVDA screen reader News: Announcing the Release of NVDA 2013.1

2013.1, the latest release of the free NVDA screen reading software, is 
now available from NV Access for anyone to download.

Highlights of this release include a more intuitive and consistent 
laptop keyboard layout; basic support for Microsoft PowerPoint; support 
for long descriptions in web browsers; and support for input of computer 
braille for braille displays which have a braille keyboard.

NVDA is used by 10s of thousands of blind and vision impaired people 
spanning more than 120 countries, enabling them to socialize, get an 
education, and participate in the workforce -- things that may not have 
been possible previously for those who could not afford other expensive 
screen reading solutions.

*** Heard about our new Website? ***

We just launched our new, improved website at http://www.nvaccess.org. 
We have revamped the site to better tell our story, in order to raise 
much needed funds to keep NVDA going. nvaccess.org will be the central 
online presence for NV Access  and NVDA now. It brings together content 
from our previous websites in a much more streamlined way. You can 
download NVDA at nvaccess.org/download from now on. And to access 
development, translation and other community related content you can 
follow the "community" link in the footer. This link will take you 
to http://community.nvda-project.org/

On the home page of our new website, http://www.nvaccess.org, you will 
be able to play a video called "Our Mission", which tells the NVDA 
story. We would really appreciate it if you could share a link to this 
video with your friends and family, letting them know how NVDA has 
helped you, and telling them that donations will help us to keep NVDA 
going. Any donation, big or small, makes a difference to us and we thank 
you in advance. Of course, if you know any companies who might be in a 
position to sponsor us, definitely pass the video link on and have them 
get in touch with us. Thanks again everyone for your fantastic loyalty 
and support, which makes what we do so rewarding. A direct link to the 
video on Youtube, if you need it,
