Any advantage to this screen reader over narrator? How well does it seem to
work on the web? Can anyone compare this with the free Thunder program?

If you haven't yet got a copy of NVDA, you can download it from the NVDA
website at:
http://www.nvda-project.org/
Go to the download section and you will find a link to download the latest
revision of NVDA.
There are currently two ways NVDA is packaged. One is an Installer which
will talk you through installing NVDA so that you can then run it at any
time from the Start Menu. The other is a zip file that contains a fully
portable version of NVDA, which you can run from anywhere, including a USB
thumb drive or CD.

Hi, I have tried the Thunder screen reader, an also another open source free
screen reader that is available, called NVDA, Non-Visual Desktop Access.
They're both very good for what they're designed to do.
Good, better, best are subjective terms in some ways, but I think that
System Access ability to remotely access another PC is definitely workth the
price.
