Hello Microsoft team and community,

I want to share two points:

  1. Positive feedback: Copilot helps me with NVDA voices. It makes accessibility smoother and I enjoy experimenting with voices like Microsoft Ryan and Ravi.
  2. Issue: When I enter the Downloads folder in Windows, NVDA speech temporarily stops. This makes navigation difficult.

Could you please guide me on how to fix the NVDA speech stop issue? Also, I’d love to know if Copilot voice preferences are being improved for accessibility users.

Thank you for your support!

    For the NVDA speech issue in the Downloads folder, the context does not provide specific troubleshooting steps. NVDA configuration, add-ons, or Windows Explorer integration can affect speech output, but no supported guidance is available in the provided material.

    For Copilot voice and accessibility, Copilot and related voice features are designed to work with assistive technologies and are being improved in line with Microsoft’s responsible AI and accessibility commitments. Voice features rely on cloud processing and may show unexpected behavior at times, so results should always be reviewed. Feedback from accessibility users is explicitly used to improve Copilot experiences over time.

    To influence Copilot voice and accessibility improvements:

    1. Use the thumbs-up/thumbs-down controls in Copilot or Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences to submit feedback about voice quality, accessibility, or issues encountered.
    2. Add details in the feedback pane describing that NVDA and specific voices (such as Microsoft Ryan and Ravi) are being used and what works well or poorly.
    3. Optionally, review and track submitted feedback in the Microsoft feedback portal (if allowed by the organization) under My Feedback.

    For direct accessibility-related support and to discuss NVDA and Copilot usage together, contact the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk. The team is trained on assistive technologies and can provide tailored guidance, including for screen reader scenarios.
