<p>In April 2006, Michael Curran started writing a non-commercial, opensource screen reader because he felt concerned with the high cost of commercial screen readers. This prompted him to begin writing a FLOSS alternative based on the Python language; a screen reader with <a href="Microsoft_SAPI" class="mw-redirect" title="Microsoft SAPI">Microsoft SAPI</a> as its speech engine. It provided support for Microsoft <a href="Windows_2000" title="Windows 2000">Windows 2000</a> onwards, and provided screen reading capabilities such as basic support for some third-party software and web browsing. Towards the end of 2006, Curran named his project Nonvisual Desktop Access (NVDA) and released version 0.5 the following year. Throughout 2008 and 2009, several versions of 0.6 appeared, featuring enhanced web browsing, support for more programs, <a href="Braille_display" class="mw-redirect" title="Braille display">braille display</a> output, and improved support for more languages. To manage continued development of NVDA, Curran, along with James Teh, founded NV Access in 2007.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>NVDA's features and popularity continued to grow.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 2009 saw support for <a href="64-bit" class="mw-redirect" title="64-bit">64-bit</a> versions of Windows as well as greater program stability in 2010. Major code restructuring to support third-party modules, coupled with basic support for <a href="Windows_8" title="Windows 8">Windows 8</a>, became available in 2011. Throughout 2012, NVDA gained improved support for Windows 8, ability to perform automatic updates, included add-ons manager to manage third-party add-ons, gained improved support for entering <a href="CJK_characters" title="CJK characters">East Asian text</a> and introduced <a href="Touchscreen" title="Touchscreen">touchscreen</a> support, the first of its kind for third-party screen readers for Windows. NVDA gained support for <a href="Microsoft_PowerPoint" title="Microsoft PowerPoint">Microsoft PowerPoint</a> in 2013 and was updated in 2014 to support PowerPoint 2013; NVDA also added enhanced <a href="WAI-ARIA" title="WAI-ARIA">WAI-ARIA</a> support that same year. Also in 2013, NV Access introduced a restructured method of reviewing screen text, and introduced a facility to manage profiles for applications, as well as improving access to Microsoft Office and other office suites in 2014.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Technical_features">Technical features</h2></div>
<p>NVDA is organized into various subsystems, including the <a href="Event_loop" title="Event loop">core loop</a>, add-ons manager, app modules, event handler and input and output handlers, along with modules to support accessibility APIs such as <a href="Microsoft_Active_Accessibility" title="Microsoft Active Accessibility">Microsoft Active Accessibility</a>. NVDA also features various graphical user interfaces of its own powered by <a href="WxPython" title="WxPython">wxPython</a>, such as various preference dialogs, and setup and update management dialogs.
</p><p>NVDA uses objects to represent elements in an application such as menu bars, status bars and various foreground windows. Various information about an object such as its name, value and screen coordinates are gathered by NVDA through accessibility APIs exposed by an object, such as through <a href="Microsoft_UI_Automation" title="Microsoft UI Automation">UIA</a> (User Interface Automation). The gathered information is passed through various subsystems, such as speech handler and presented to the user in speech, braille<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and via on-screen window. NVDA also provides facilities to handle events such as key presses, name changes and when an application gains or loses focus.
</p><p>NVDA provides facilities to examine an application's object hierarchy and implement ways to enhance accessibility of a program. It provides dedicated commands to move through object hierarchy within an application, as well as an interactive python console to perform focus manipulation, monitoring objects for events and test code for improving accessibility of an application to be packaged in an app module.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development_model">Development model</h2></div>
<p>From 2006 to 2013, NVDA's source code was managed via <a href="GNU_Bazaar" title="GNU Bazaar">Bazaar</a>, with NV Access switching to <a href="Git_(software)" class="mw-redirect" title="Git (software)">Git</a> in 2013, citing development progress with Bazaar. The developers also took the opportunity to modify the release schedule to happen at regular intervals to prevent delay in releasing an official release and to make the release time frame predictable.
</p><p>In addition to official releases, nightly snapshot builds are also available for testing. Similar to the release process for the <a href="Linux_kernel#Development_model" title="Linux kernel">Linux kernel</a>, NVDA snapshots are available in beta and alpha branches, with special topic branches created from time to time. NV Access describes the beta branch as a chance for users to gain early access to new features, alpha branch as bleeding-edge code for possible inclusion in the upcoming release, and topic branches for developing a major feature or to prepare for official release (rc branch).<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some third-party developers also maintain specific <a href="Fork_(software_development)" title="Fork (software development)">forks</a>, including language-specific versions of NVDA<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or to offer public preview for a feature under active development.
</p><p>While development is primarily led by NV Access, code, documentation and translation contributions come from users and other developers around the world.
