NVDA Coach just got its biggest localization update yet. Version 1.5.2 ships with a complete Spanish translation, a completed Turkish translation, four new lessons, and a handful of quality-of-life improvements that make the experience smoother for returning students.
Now available in Spanish
Every part of NVDA Coach is now localized in Spanish — all 45 lessons across six chapters, all three documentation pages, and every button label and spoken announcement in the interface. If your copy of NVDA is set to Spanish, NVDA Coach automatically presents in Spanish. No configuration needed.
The Spanish practice text was contributed by Mateo Quintela of Spain, who worked directly with the lesson content to make the reading and text navigation exercises feel natural in Spanish rather than translated.
Turkish is now complete
NVDA Coach has had Turkish support since v1.4, contributed by Umut KORKMAZ. With v1.5.2, the last missing chapter — Chapter 2: Your Keyboard — is now translated, bringing the Turkish localization to all six chapters. Turkish-speaking users now have the full course available in their language.
Four new lessons (45 total)
• Check Your Battery Status (Chapter 1) — Press NVDA+Shift+B to hear your battery percentage and charging state without touching the mouse or navigating the taskbar.
• Check Font and Formatting (Chapter 3) — Press NVDA+F to hear font name, size, bold, italic, and underline at the cursor. Press twice for a full formatting dialog.
• Change the Audio Output Device (Chapter 6) — Press NVDA+Ctrl+U to switch NVDA speech to headphones, external speakers, or HDMI.
• Control Audio Ducking (Chapter 6) — Press NVDA+Shift+D to cycle through ducking modes so NVDA automatically lowers other audio while speaking.
Other improvements
A new Profile button in the lesson picker makes it easy to set your name, instructor, and training center without needing to remember the F7 shortcut. Students who have already completed the course now see a quiet welcome-back screen instead of hearing the full completion fanfare every time NVDA restarts. The introduction screen now lists all available function keys — F1 through F7, Enter, Escape, and navigation shortcuts — so new students know what tools are available before their first lesson begins.
