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.

This Addon allows NVDA users to review a Window content in a text box, similar to window virtualization of JAWS for Windows. Note, however, that this is just a convenience for users and does not replace NVDA's excellent review modes and object navigation support.
Press NVDA+control+w to open the virtual revision Window. Then simply navigate the shown textbox as you do in any other text content. You can press Escape to close the virtual revision window.
