Took a second pass at the @NVAccess NVDA Expert certification this morning and passed it with an 87. Barely failed it with a 78 about three weeks ago.

@NVAccess I wonder how many folks have both the NVDA and JAWS certification. No way I'm the only one.

@jyarbrough @NVAccess no, you aren't. I have both and I suspect there are many others as well.

@bmoore123 @jyarbrough I've seen others with both, but it isn't something we track.

For those proficient in both, two requests please:

1. We have a guide on Switching from Jaws to NVDA at: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/SwitchingFromJawsToNVDA @KaraLG84 does a wonderful job of keeping it up to date, but please do suggest anything which could be added / improved!

2. If you have any of those "XYZ is so much easier to do in Jaws than NVDA" please do either let us know or write an issue at https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues

Thank you!

@NVAccess @bmoore123 @jyarbrough @KaraLG84 In Excel, JAWS announces if there is conditional formatting, if there are hidden cells around, and if sorting or filtering is enabled.

@NVAccess @bmoore123 @jyarbrough @KaraLG84 Oh also you can set more than one row (and I guess column too?) header. Suppose you have merged cells for years, then below that months, then below G for gains and L for loses, and finally data. In JAWS you can have it say 2024 July G when moving column by column. Hope I made myself clear enough

@sukiletxe @bmoore123 @jyarbrough @KaraLG84 Yes that is clear. I can't find an issue for that, but please do feel free to write up an issue. I'm also not sure if it will still be possible with the move to UIA & how headers have worked with that so far: NVDA takes table header row / first column as headers without needing to set them manually - I suspect this works better in the "majority" of cases (once people are familiar with Excel tables), but may be more restricting in some cases).
