Introduction
At the Institute of Accessible Technology (IAT), we recognize that productivity tools like Microsoft Windows and Office are essential for both work and everyday life.
This resource page is dedicated to helping blind and low-vision users master these tools through the powerful, free screen reader
NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access).
What You’ll Find Inside
- Windows guidance: How to use Windows efficiently with NVDA, including keyboard navigation and accessible workflows tailored for screen-reader users.
- Office tutorials: Tutorials for using Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office applications with NVDA, covering common tasks, document formatting, and keyboard shortcuts.
- Accessible document tips: Best practices for creating accessible documents so files you create are easier for others (including screen-reader users) to navigate and understand.
Why It’s Important
By equipping learners with the skills to use Windows and Microsoft Office effectively with NVDA, IAT empowers blind and visually impaired individuals
to work, study, and communicate more independently and confidently in professional and personal settings.
