Darvy Connect for NVDA.
Summaries and screen descriptions, by voice.

Press NVDA + Shift + S to summarize any focused text. Press NVDA + Shift + D to hear what's on screen. Runs alongside NVDA — doesn't change anything NVDA already does.

Two hotkeys. That's the whole product.

NVDA + Shift + S

Summarize the focused or selected text. Email too long? Article too dense? Doc you don't have time to read? One hotkey gives you the gist in 2-3 seconds.

NVDA + Shift + D

Describe the screen. For when the content isn't accessible to NVDA — a chart, a scanned PDF, an inaccessible web app. Captures the screen, returns a 2-4 sentence description.

The hosted service has been retired.

The Darvy Connect hosted NVDA service has been retired. This page is retained for historical reference; it does not provide API keys or online summaries.

Three steps after you get your key.

  1. Download the add-on. Direct link will be emailed with your API key. (Currently in private beta — your email reaches the founder, who'll send the install link manually within a few hours.)
  2. Install in NVDA. Open the .nvda-addon file. NVDA will offer to install it. Restart NVDA when prompted.
  3. Paste your API key. Open NVDA Settings (NVDA + N → Preferences → Settings). Find "Darvy Connect" in the category list. Paste the key. Save.

The hotkeys (NVDA + Shift + S, NVDA + Shift + D) work immediately. No reboot needed after setup.

What we do (and don't) with your data.

  • Text and screenshots are sent to our API, processed by an LLM, and returned. Content is not stored.
  • Only metadata (timestamp, token counts) is logged for billing.
  • You can revoke your API key at any time by emailing support@darvy.ai.
  • Full privacy policy: darvy.ai/privacy.

This add-on is the focused, hotkey-driven slice. Darvy itself is a full voice-powered computer-use assistant for blind Windows users across supported email, browser, calendar, and document workflows. Full Darvy is $98/month for two computers, with every feature available during a card-free 72-hour trial and no credit card required to start.
