What Darvy can do

Focused context

Ask Darvy about what is in focus

Use Darvy for general questions, brainstorming, drafting, and revision. Darvy can use the recent conversation to understand follow-up requests and help develop an answer before taking a supported action.

Darvy can answer questions about the focused Word document, PDF, or browser page, including requests to explain, summarize, or clarify the content currently available to it.

Using Darvy

Getting the most out of Darvy

Ordinary AI conversation does not require any particular window to be focused. When a request concerns an application or its content, use the steps below.

PDF and Word documents

1. Open the document: open the PDF or Word document and navigate to the relevant page.
2. Keep it in focus: keep that document window focused. If Darvy will insert something, place the cursor where the result should go.
3. Ask Darvy: ask Darvy to read, summarize, explain, answer questions, or work with the content on that page.

Browser pages

1. Open the page: ask Darvy to open the browser page you want to use.
2. Keep it in focus: keep that browser page focused.
3. Ask Darvy: ask Darvy to read the page, answer questions, find controls, follow links, or perform supported actions.

Accessible documents

Read documents that were not made accessible

Darvy prepares the current PDF or Word page for a structured reading flow instead of treating the page as one flattened block of text.

• Recover inaccessible pages: read digital PDFs as well as scanned, image-only PDFs.
• Keep useful structure: present tables with row and cell relationships and keep document elements in reading order.
• Make mathematics understandable: speak equations in readable mathematical language.
• Explain visual content: create image descriptions for charts and graphs, diagrams, and other images on the current page.
• Ask for more: refine an image description when the user asks a follow-up question about the current image.

Conversation to text

Turn a conversation into usable text

Discuss an idea with Darvy, revise it together, and then ask Darvy to insert what it just said. The conversation supplies the context; the user does not have to dictate the final answer again.

• Insert at the current cursor: place the resulting text in Word or another focused text field.
• Insert editable mathematics: place a native, editable equation at the current cursor in focused Microsoft Word.
• Keep the user in control of placement: Darvy assumes the current keyboard focus is where the text belongs.
• Use the clipboard: copy Darvy's latest answer to the clipboard for use somewhere else.

Web browsing

Browse without hunting through every control

Darvy's integrated browser can inspect the page that is currently in focus and help the user understand or act on what is there.

• Read the useful content: extract the main article body into Reader Mode instead of reading menus and page furniture as part of the article.
• Get oriented quickly: summarize the current page or answer a question about visible content.
• Find the next step: identify links, buttons, and sections by their accessible meaning.
• Navigate by request: follow a link, activate a supported control, or move to a named section.

What to expect

Powerful assistance, with clear limits

• Darvy supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 and can work alongside NVDA, JAWS, and Windows Narrator.
• Darvy is not a replacement for every screen-reader workflow.
• Results can vary when a document, application, or website exposes incomplete accessibility information or changes its interface.
• Image descriptions, summaries, and AI-generated text can be wrong. Verify important details before relying on them.

Every feature is included during the card-free 7-day trial. No credit card is required. Darvy is $57/month for two computers afterward.
