Introducing Custom Labels: A new NVDA addon to help you add custom labels to unlabeled controls.

[kefas lungu]

Hello NVDA community,

 

Based on community request and an obvious need, I'm excited to announce the release of Custom Labels, a new NVDA add-on that allows you to assign custom labels to unlabeled or poorly labeled controls in any application!

 

Ever encountered a button that NVDA just announces as "button" with no name? Or a control where the developer forgot to add an accessible label? Custom Labels solves this by letting you define your own labels that NVDA will announce instead.

 

Key Features:

• Assign custom labels to unlabeled controls

• Edit or remove labels at any time

• Labels are stored per-application for easy organization

• Manage all your labels through a dedicated settings panel

• Labels persist across NVDA restarts

How It Works:

Simply focus on a control, press NVDA+Control+L, and enter your desired label. The next time you encounter that control, NVDA will announce your custom label instead.

Requirements:

NVDA 2025.1 or later

This add-on will be available in the NVDA Add-on Store shortly.

 

I welcome contributions in the form of code, suggestions, translations, and feedback. If you encounter any issues or have ideas for improvements, please open an issue on GitHub:

 

https://github.com/kefaslungu/customlabels

 

I hope this add-on helps make your NVDA experience better. Looking forward to your feedback!

Best regards,

Kefas Lungu.

Hi, I clicked the link and it opened a GitHub page, but I couldn't see an option to download. What should I do to download it? 

Sincerely.

Hi, does it also work on websites or web like interface applications?

Thanks.

If a central database of these labels were automatically maintained so
everyone could optionally benefit from the labelling that everyone else
had done, that would really be something.

The old System Access had a feature that if one person labeled a web
site, others using System access would see the same labels if they went
to the web site.

Hi,

That will come later. For now, let the core functionality work well for everyone.

Cheers!

Hi Kefas,

 

Thank you for sharing this valuable add-on with the community. Having the ability to manually label those stubborn, unnamed controls is a huge step for accessibility in apps that haven't quite met the mark yet.

 

I have just downloaded it and will be giving it a try shortly to see how it performs across a few "tricky" applications I use. I’m looking forward to seeing how much smoother it makes the navigation experience.

 

Keep up the great work!
