Your link trries to download the file but it times out and gives up. Are you sure the link is current?
Also, as a general rule, if a piece of software does not work, we advise the users to lobby the makers as its a big probability that no access information is being made available to the system by that software, making it hard to support, even impossible in some cases. What exactly is QQ and is there an english version?

Tencent QQ is a cross-platform instant messaging client very popular in mainland China. It has other features like games and blogs. It has an international version which includes English language interface too. More info on this page: [to [comment:1 briang1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent_QQ]

Link given by the reporter works, but the server becomes sluggish from time to time. Turn off HTTP scanning temporarily in your antivirus to speed things up a bit, and preferably use a download manager for this download.

I am sorry.this site don't allow to download outside the site.The download link is here:http://im.qq.com/qq/2012/,and please click the link "立即下载".This software is very important in China.I am a chinese Student.I realize whatever company or person can not leave it for communication.There are a lot of software's GUI as same as it in China,and there are not law to restrict the development of software.

Having read the wikipedia article it does seem to me that the company has not exactly played fairly and some might suspect that the program contains code not welcome on their computers. I still think that your best bet is to get a group of people to contact the program authors and get the access sorted there, as nvda and other screenreaders rely on the programmers supporting accessability in the first place in order to work.

And the links on that page, all being presumably in Chinese are a bit hard to unravel, but every link that went to a download actually fails to download the target file. They launch the downloader but give no other activity, so unless we can see an english copy to download it, its going to be up to you folks I think.

You can download the latest Windows version (1.3 build 1171, said to run on WinXP too) of QQ International that includes English user interface from this direct link. This link points to a softpedia.com server which is considered a trustworthy source. I obtained this very direct link by going through the multiple steps of downloading QQ International starting from its official webpage. I hope the link will be valid later on as well. The link downloads the file really fast.

He could send you the url and you could download it with that. Of course, he could also dropbox it for you and you could get it from there.

As I had suspected, the link given in comment 6 was not a permanent one, and it has expired. However it is still pretty easy to download QQ International using that link. If you click on the link, you'll be redirected to the correct download page, and NVDA may say so (it does for me). Then you must look for a link named "Secure Download [and click that. You may also choose "Secure Download US" link if you live in e.g. North America. After clicking one of those, the download should start automatically, and the regular download dialog should come up. If it doesn't in say 10 seconds (which is the case for me), then search for the text "click here" on the appearing webpage. That'll take you to a direct download link, that will definitely work. That's what I had copied to comment 6, but it's unfortunately not a permanent one, but
on a sort of browser session basis, so that's why it has expired.

qq international download page from Microsoft SkyDrive:link:qq

Comment 11 by qingtian on 2012-07-01 15:13
to download the qq international version:
http://download.imqq.com/download.shtml
the latest version is 1.3.
the qq is used the specail tech.It is not support the MSAA,so nvda
can't get the messages from qq.
Last month, I visited the tencent company, and Feedbacked the QQ does not support support screenreaders.
The latest got the news that they had already begun increase MSAA interface.
I think that it need some times.in the future,the qq will be to support the MSAA interface,and nvda will be use the qq.

p.s.
I am a chinese.
I always pay attention to the accessibility.

Marking as needsExternalFix based on comment:11.

@vgjh2005, @qingtian, @Palacee_hun, is this issue still reproducible in the last qq version? Could someone please post a link to the last version?

@larry801 do you have any information about the application for which @vgjh2005 requests support with NVDA? I don't really know this application actually.

Tencent QQ can now be used with NVDA, but the performance of NVDA will be reduced on some list or menu objects in Tencent QQ, but I think this is another issue, so NVAccess can already close this issue.
