To change your NVDA keyboard shortcut, open Properties from the NVDA shortcut. The default NVDA keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Alt + n, is commonly used in Docs, Slides, or Drawings (for example, Ctrl + Alt + n then g navigates to the next image in a document).
Optional: Change your NVDA startup keyboard shortcut so that it doesn't conflict with Docs, Slides, or Drawings. Press NVDA + Ctrl + k, then turn off Speak typed characters and Speak typed words. You should hear "Screen reader support enabled." Listen for these words: "Screen reader support enabled." If you don't hear anything, go to the Tools menu, select Accessibility settings, then select Turn on screen reader support. Go to Google Docs, Slides, or Drawingsand open a file. On Windows, for the best experience, use the latest version of NVDA with the latest version of Chrome or Firefox.
