This add-on is maintained and improved in loving memory of Rui Fontes, who passed away on 11 July 2026.
Rui devoted much of his life to making technology accessible to blind and visually impaired people, and his generosity, skill, and dedication touched countless users and fellow developers in the NVDA community. This project is carried forward in his honour, and with heartfelt gratitude for everything he gave. May his work keep opening doors for those who need it.
Clipspeak is an addon that allows NVDA to automatically announce clipboard operations (such as cut, copy and paste), along with other common editing operations such as undo and redo. In order to prevent announcement in inappropriate situations, Clipspeak performs checks on the control and the clipboard in order to make an informed decision as to whether such an announcement is necessary. You can choose between only announcing copy/cut/paste or also whats is being copied/cutted/pasted on NVDA, configurations, clipspeak. By default, Clipspeak's gestures are mapped to those commonly used by English versions of Windows:
If these are not the shortcuts commonly used for these tasks on your version of Windows, you will need to remap these gestures in the input gestures configuration under the Clipboard category.
