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.
Since NVDA is by the name NVDA, not jaws, the answer is no. But in the
latest stable NVDA 2010.2 we introduced flat review mode (with help of
display hooks) which acts in quite similar way. Go and try it.
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...
QT: IMHO NVDA's support for this framework is a bit better than jaws.
However, QT accessibility implementation is buggy in its nature. We
tried to overcome bugs where possible.
WXWidgets: NVDA UI is written in wx. So the short answer is yes.
However, NVDA doesn't support those WX controls lacking accessibility
implementation. Since WXWidgets is an open-source library, anyone can
improve some special control when he/she needs.
gtk: as far as I know, this uses custom rendering on windows without
using native windows functions, as well as doesn't expose any
accessibility information. So it shouldn't be supported. however,
situation might have been changed since i tried it last time.
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.
It is absent in NVDA for now. NVDA can indicate formatting in speech though.
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 ».
You should write to Michel Such <michel.such@xxxxxxx> - he is a
maintainer of the french translation.
