New t-shirts! Which, with my uncanny timing, I ordered just in time for them to arrive as the nice, sunny weather suddenly gave way back to the more traditional Scottish dreichness of, battleship grey skies & cold rain.
Oh well, they're still cool!

@McNeely Im sure there are plugins for this, but essentially you're looking for a screen reader, so look in #accessibility circles. (sorry not the answer you're looking for, a specific tool recommendation)
I've only dipped my toes in that area, but I understand that #JAWS https://www.freedomscientific.com/products/software/jaws/ is regarded as somewhat the defacto standard/benchmark for such things. But not free and may be overkill - there are many alternatives to choose from.

I am wondering if it is possible with #NVDA to search for text in specific colours.
Let's say a co-worker sends you a document and tells you that they have formated some sentences in red and others marked with a yellow background.
How would I quickly find such sentences?
With #JAWS the skim reading feature comes to mind. But I don't know if there is a way to do the same thing with #NVDA.
