Thunder does have mouse emulation if I remember correctly though I do not know how good it is. with a free toy, you can always try it out.


nvda at the moment does not have mouse emuulation but uses object navigation for screen review.

System Access, which in its mobile off the web version just became free, does have a "virtual mouse' though that is in its developing stages still.

Hi list,
I currently use jaws for windows as my primary screen reader. However, I would like to get feedback on any of the free ones out there such as NVDA, thunder and any other screen reading software that could be of use to us. I was mainly wondering if there is an equivalent to the mouse cursor or Jaws cursor but so far have not been able to find this when using NVDA or thunder. Any information would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Lyn & Twinny.
