1. Introduction

1.1. Features

Although this application is relatively well accessible, this extension attempts to improve the accessibility of the Recuva file recovery software:

• by naming certain unlabeled objects,
• by preventing unnecessary focus from being placed on unknown objects,
• adding the script "Alt+Control+r" to re-read the overall result of the search,
• by automatically maximizing the window displaying the search result.

1.2. Update

The update of the extension is done, by default, automatically shortly after the start of NVDA (between 20 and 600 seconds) and at most once a day. It is possible to deactivate this update by unchecking the option "Automatically check for updates" found in the extension settings, menu item "Update". The extension version can be:

• or a stable version: its version number is of type "1.0" for example.
• or a development version: its version number is then of the type "1.0-dev1", or "1.0-rc1", or "1.0-beta2".

By default, a stable version is updated with a more recent stable version (higher version number). But it is possible to update the current stable version with a development version of the next stable version. Just check the option "Update also stable versions to development versions" located in the extension settings, menu item "Update".

A development version is updated with a more recent development version or with its stable version.

The "Search for an update" button placed in the extension settings, menu item "Update", allows you to immediately search for an update.

1.3. Compatibility

This extension has been tested with Recuva version 1.53.
