Hi Rosie, I'm glad you like your new windows 10 computer and that you are able
to use it okay. Is there a lot of learning to do with windows 10?

Hi, Pete:
Recently I read an article in the Flying Blind Top Tech Tidbits e-newsletter
that claimed that Narrator had been improved a great deal and that NVDA is now
the second best screen reader to Narrator.
According to the author of the article, JAWS placed a distant third place and I
don't think he even bothered to mention other screen readers.
Like me, some of you may be subscribed to that blind tech email list called
Tech Talk. Someone posted the article there too. In short, many in the group
agreed that Narrator was a very good screen reader now and can at least be used
in conjunction with other screen readers.
I don't have a Windows 10 computer yet. But if I get one, I hope Narrator has
improved a lot. If so, I'll use it with NVDA and I'll forget all about JAWS.
I've been reading that the latest version of JAWS isn't that good.

Last time I checked in with Narrator, it had a horrid voice. It was
worth the price for me to pay for Window-Eyes, which I bought with the
installation of my current computer. I thank my family for the help
they've
offered me in getting what I need. I feel so blessed that my family
can afford these things for me with the Special Needs Fund my brother
has set up
for my special adaptive and other needs.

Hi, Vic,
I haven't tried narrator as a screen reader yet but I'll give it a
shot and let you all know how it works.

Hi, Rosie:
Congratulations on your new Windows 10 computer! Try using Narrator,
the built-in screen reader. I've read it's very good, better than
JAWS! I've read that NVDA is a close second to Narrator as a screen
reader.
