My recommendation would be WindowEyes. It works well with the Apex and it's easy to learn. WindowEyes is less expensive than Jaws and it's a very stable screenreader. GW Micro is committed to improving it and I don't think NVDA is as motivated for the reason Rob said.

Rajmund: JAWS is a more stable ScreenReader. It has had support for the BN both in the QT and the BT models for much longer than NVDA. There is nothing wrong with either ScreenReader, but NVDA takes longer to catch up, because it's programmers are volunteers.

Because my old one couldn't do it I asked them to change it. So I got NVDA. I was in braille terminal as normal. Because I couldn't control the laptop from my apex I was pressing buttons on it. The man was still doing settings. He realised that the laptop does things it shouldn't. He took his hands off when he realised that it was still doing things. We found out that it was me with the 2 edge thumb keys. So I pressed everything with everything. Nothing worked. Somehow I got back to the main menu. I went back to terminal and I was able to control the laptop. So in all in all I have a bt keyboard with a braille display instead of the laptop but still doing the same things as a laptop. I found that to go down a list press space with t, to go back up press 1-2-5-6. To go down in a little list press space with dot 4, to go back up press space with dot 1. Did you know this? I didn't and the man didn't. I suggest to change Jaws if you can. Not just because of that but also because Jaws can crash.
