We will continue to make this version available for those who need it. If that machine is still working then of course! We do encourage users to stay on the latest version of NVDA, and a currently supported version of Windows. NVDA 2023.3 will happily keep working on your Windows 7 machine 30 years from now. It is important to remember that NVDA does not expire or stop working at a set date. NVDA 2023.3 is the last version of NVDA compatible with Windows 7 (and Windows 8.0), NVDA 2024.1 will require Windows 8.1 and newer.

Read the full list of changes and download the new version from the NVDA 2023.3 release announcement. There’s also been bug fixes for the Add-on Store, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Edge context menus, and Windows Calculator.

It is now possible to opt-out unwanted drivers from automatic detection, to improve autodetection performance. There’s been several braille fixes, improving device detection and caret movement. This can be configured in the Windows OCR category of NVDA’s settings dialog. NVDA can now periodically refresh OCR results, speaking new text as it appears. A new Audio settings panel has been created with options to control the volume of NVDA sounds and beeps, or to have them follow the volume of the voice you are using. This release includes improvements to performance, responsiveness and stability of audio output. The big news this time around is the release of NVDA 2023.3
