Drawing of a robot sitting at a desk typing. On one monitor is "NVDA Screen reader" in white on purple (although the logo is wrong) and on the other is some code (which has an on script action to speak "Add-on activated!") There is a coffee cup and an NVDA Development book on the desk as well as the keyboard the robot is using. One monitor has post it notes with "Debug" (underlined three times) and "Test Add-on" written on them.
