Hi,
Bare in mind if you want to access certain Admin only areas you'll need to
install NVDA locally. An example of this is the Devices tree in Device Manager
under Windows 7.
Regards,
Barry.

Catherine,
I would use NVDA portable version on a USB stick which you can download from
the
www.nvda-project.org/
site. Follow the download links.
Jaws and others have to insert a "off-screen module"into the other person's
computer which I don't like. NVDA does not use this method of intercepting
the screen information and therefore is not quite as powerful as Jaws, but
it is still adequate for most ordinary use.
Removing this module is messy.
Regards
Aedan

Hello,
I will soon be wanting, if possible, to look at a website on someone
else's computer which doesn't have any screen reader installed on it
and I can't instal my screen reader, JAWS. I'm vaguely aware of
System Access To Go and have also heard of Thunder and Non Visual
Desktop Access. I believe these are all free and easy to run. Can
anyone give me any opinions on which is the easiest to get running or
best for accessing websites? For SA2Go does it just require an
internet connection? Do the others run on USB sticks? Any other info
about getting started with any of these would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Catherine
