Google Account

Setting Description
Status Shows which Google account is signed in, or that you aren't signed in yet
Credit usage How much of this month's AI credit you have used and when it resets: the same line NVDA+Alt+U speaks. Read only.

Sign out Shown in place of Sign in with Google once you are signed in. Ends the session immediately, and AI features stop working until you sign in again.

The AI features work only while you are signed in. If you use one while signed out, NVDA says "Sign in with Google in LIMA AI settings to use this feature."

Language

Setting Description
Language The reply language LIMA AI uses for its descriptions. Options: English (default), Tagalog, Vietnamese.

When Tagalog or Vietnamese is selected, replies are tagged with that language so NVDA speaks them with a matching voice where one is available. With Vietnamese, the add-on's own messages, such as "Describing screen" and "Web page update:", are spoken in Vietnamese too. The credit usage line is available in all three languages. The settings panel and the first-run welcome message are in English.

Tagalog voices

Tagalog is pronounced correctly only when your speech synthesizer has a Filipino voice. NVDA's built-in eSpeak NG supports Filipino — select it in Settings → Speech → Synthesizer. Windows OneCore voices do not include Filipino and will mispronounce Tagalog.

Vietnamese voices

Vietnamese is pronounced correctly only when your speech synthesizer has a Vietnamese voice, such as eSpeak NG. Also turn on Automatic language switching (when supported) in Settings → Speech, so NVDA switches to the Vietnamese voice for LIMA AI's replies.

Web Narration

Setting Description
Announce before each update What happens before a web update is described. Options: Speak text (default) — NVDA says "Web page update:"; Play a sound — a short beep; Off — the description itself is spoken with nothing before it.

Advanced settings

The interval between page checks (6 seconds by default) and the change-detection threshold are not exposed in this panel; the defaults suit most users. Advanced users can adjust them in NVDA's configuration.
