Re: Basic Screen Reader?

Hi Cher,

I now have NVDA installed just for the  specific reason of having an 
alternate screen reader if Jaws crashes and I won't have to use Narrator. 
There are no conflicts between NVDA and Jaws.  I use the same voice with 
NVDA as I do with Jaws, which is Reed.  Once you have downloaded and install 
NVDA press the insert + N keys to access the preferences menu and in there 
is where you choose what synthesizer and voice you would like.  Below are 2 
places you can download NVDA from.  The second is probably the easier of the 
two.

Or you can download NVDA 0.6P2, the current working version at:

Hope this has helped.  Take care.

Mike

  Unfortunately, it is very common to lose Narrator if JAWS crashes on these 
DELL desktops at work.  Yes, I use windows-U to bring up Narrator.

  I was not asking if JAWS was better than Narrator, but if you are saying 
that some of the basic screen readers work better than Narrator when JAWS 
crashes.  Thanks.
