I am wondering if it is possible with #NVDA to search for text in specific colours.

Let's say a co-worker sends you a document and tells you that they have formated some sentences in red and others marked with a yellow background.

How would I quickly find such sentences?

With #JAWS the skim reading feature comes to mind. But I don't know if there is a way to do the same thing with #NVDA.

Join Ron Miller as he discusses a few insightful tips on using Speech and Sound Schemes in JAWS for Microsoft Word. Learn how to customize speech settings, sound cues, and formatting feedback to enhance productivity and accessibility.

Does anyone have any tips for editing long projects in #Reaper on #Windows11 with #Jaws?
I'm working on editing a podcast that is not my own & its due by Monday.
I have a good start but also, a lot more to go.

Meet the March Freedom Scientific Student of the Month! Toby is a senior in Pennsylvania who started using JAWS and the Focus 40 Braille display when he was 16. Toby enjoys coding. Projects he created include a web-based interface for playing chess and a text chat app. "JAWS and the Focus 40 allow me to code independently, which is something I did not have access to before."

A couple of days ago, I watched Jaws (1975) again. It turns 50 this year, and is widely credited as being the first "summer #blockbuster" #movie, which (for better or worse) has set the tone for Hollywood studios ever since.

The movie holds up really well.

A couple of days before *that*, I went down a rabbit hole of the #production costs of the most expensive films ever made. To pick one example near (but not at) the top of the list, there's Avengers: Infinity War (2018). Adjusted for inflation, its production cost is over US$400M.

Four hundred million US dollars.

#Jaws, not adjusted for inflation, cost US$9M. Nine million. Its budget was originally set for $4M, but because of shooting on the ocean, which hadn't been done for a major feature, there were unexpected costs, and the mechanical #shark effects ended up costing a lot more than planned. Adjusting for #inflation gives a number somewhere in the neighbourhood of US$50M.

Jaws is a #film people remember. It has a good story, relatable and likeable characters, action, suspense, etc, etc.

The #Avengers movie cost eight times as much and ... I barely remember it. It had lots of #pixels. It had wooden acting. It was utterly forgettable, even though it was supposed to be the climax of the "#MCU". In fifty years, will anyone remember it, or any #Marvel film? Doubtful.

I wish #Hollywood would get back into telling #stories, rather than trying to be #videogames you can't play, just watch.

@matuzo is wondering how much trouble a skipped heading level is for screen reader users. Three users have replied but it'd be great to see more feedback. Anyone else willing to reply to Manuel's post? Here is the link:

Tried the free edition of the #ZDSR #screenreader because I was curious. I will say that for my use-case, if #ZDSR was fully documented in English, it competes a lot more directly with #nvda than #jaws does, runs fine in a virtual machine, and has a bunch of stuff built in that I use NVDA addons for. If it had an English website I'd probably grab a copy for the entirely reasonable price. But I'm not willing to purchase through translation.
