NVDA 2023.1 Released
March 27, 2023 12:49 pm
NV Access is pleased to announce that version 2023.1 of NVDA, the free 
screen reader for Microsoft Windows, is now available for download. We 
encourage all users to upgrade to this version.
Highlights
A new option has been added, “Paragraph Style” in “Document Navigation”. 
This can be used with text editors that do not support paragraph 
navigation natively, such as Notepad and Notepad++.
There is a new global command to report the destination of a link, 
mapped to NVDA+k.
Support for annotated web content (such as comments and footnotes) has 
improved. Press NVDA+d to cycle through summaries when annotations are 
reported (e.g. “has comment, has footnote”).
Tivomatic Caiku Albatross 46/80 braille displays are now supported.
Support for ARM64 and AMD64 versions of Windows has improved. There are 
many bug fixes, notably Windows 11 fixes.
eSpeak, LibLouis, Sonic rate boost and Unicode CLDR has been updated. 
There are new Georgian, Swahili (Kenya) and Chichewa (Malawi) braille 
tables.
Important Note:
• This release breaks compatibility with add-ons made for NVDA 2022.4 
and earlier.
Please note, after updating any software, it is a good idea to restart 
the computer. Restart by going to the Shutdown dialog, selecting 
“restart” and pressing ENTER. Updating software can change files which 
are in use. This can lead to instability and strange behaviour which is 
resolved by rebooting. This is the first thing to try if you do notice 
anything odd after updating.
