NV Access Releases NVDA 2026.2 Release Candidate 2 for Testing
Source: NV Access
The team at NV Access has announced that the Second Release Candidate (RC2) of NVDA 2026.2 is now available for users who want to participate in testing. This release is a crucial step as it is expected to be nearly identical to the final version of 2026.2, barring any critical bugs that may be discovered.
NVDA users are encouraged to download and install this release candidate to help ensure that the final version is robust and bug-free. By opting to install the RC2, users will be joining NVDA's beta/RC channel, giving them the opportunity to provide vital feedback for the development team.
NVDA, or NonVisual Desktop Access, is a widely trusted screen reader for those who are blind or have low vision. Making these versions available early underscores NV Access's commitment to community-driven development and creating a software system that caters to the needs of its users.
Feedback from the community is invaluable for polishing the software. Users who do participate in the testing phase will contribute to the refinement of a tool that millions rely on every day.
To download the RC2 and be part of this essential testing phase, NVDA users can visit the official site and follow the installation instructions.
