Hello,
I'm mainly a jaws user, but NVDA helps me sometimes: when jaws has crashed,
when I have occasionnally to go on a PC owned by someone else, or when I
have to virtualize windows XP for school job without having any extra jaws
license. That's an excellent job for an open source product.
I'm profiting there is a NVDA developper there to ask some questions and
drop some remarks :
1. Is it planed to add a jaws cursor ? I'm used to jaws for a very long time
and have difficulties to be comfortable without that important feature.
2. Has the NVDA with eloquence topic evolved ? because that's also a factor
which stop me from using NVDA more frequently. I know this is currently
illegal, but I really hope that a solution could be found. IMO It would
greatly help in switching from JFW to NVDA.
3. I never deeply tried. Is NVDA working well with QT, GTK, WX or more
generally, open source GUI based applications, or is the support generally
as poor as jaws ? That's something we can really reproach to FS...
4. IN jaws, there is a feature (Voice schemes) for changing voice
characteristics when encountering a bold or italic or whatever particularely
formatted word in a text, even in a single line. I think that such a feature
is interesting. Sorry if it already exists.
5. I would like to report a translation error in french version, which
exists for ages (more than 1 year). Many stupid people say that « exit » is
untranslatable and must remind as such. I think you should replace it by «
quitter ».
Thank you for your answers.
