Hi Aedan, and thanks for your feedback, which is most useful and which I
will be forwarding to the developers of 'Thunder'.
Do keep in mind though that 'Thunder' is only meant for basic home use, so,
for example, access to the command prompt would not be a priority.
Stuart.

Hi Stewart,
I have tried out Thunder and I find it very poor compared with NVDA.
Thunder does not work in the command prompt. It loses focus very readily and
it corrupts the speech engines of nvda. I managed to recover the speech on
my work machine after a lot of trouble so that nvda could work again.
It is nvda for my money!
Try nvda with vw kate, wow.

Hi Folks,
NCBI are currently involved in a European project called 'Dicomp.S.Net'
which aims to make available, in a number of European countries, a totally
free Screen Reader called 'Thunder'.
It should be pointed out here that 'Thunder' is designed primarily for home
users, but I'd be delighted if anyone on this list would be up for giving it
a go.
If you have any comments, good or bad after trying it, then of course do
contact me.
Finally, and most importantly, if you want to download your very own free
copy, then please visit www.screenreader.net/ and enjoy!
Regards,
Stuart.
