agreed, I used to have jfw not cracked I used to have we not cracked
now I use Nvda all the time I give a small donation every month because
I use it every day all day. and it does more than most of the other
screen readers done for me. I started of with Hal and hated it Nvda
for me is way better than that. but I know some will say there screen
reader is the best and that is OK but for me Nvda simply the best and
the price is right.

NVDA is Open Source. It is possible not only to change it, but to feed
changes back to the developers, and to have some influence on what it does.
I know that 'you get what you pay for' is a common maxim but it breaks
down when talking about software, and no doubt other things as well. It
would be better if it ran something like this 'you get what they think
they can give you (the bare minimum) for the maximum price, and you have
to keep paying or they cut you off'.
There is a mass of free (as in as a bird) and Open Source software out
there and you might not realise that you use a lot of it every time you
browse a web site and make a purchase.
NVDA is more than just a thing which is 'a bit better than narrator'.
Even if I could afford it there is no way I would buy Jaws or any
Dolphin product and be held to ransom and forced to pay more than my
computer cost just so I could use it.
There is more than one way to swing a cat applies very much to software.
If package ABC does not work with NVDA then chances are there is an XYZ
package that does the same thing just as well which DOES work with NVDA.
Sure there are things about NVDA which are either quirky or just
downright annoying, but a thousand pound price tag isn't one of them.
So numbers get read out as words...which is annoying when it's a phone
number, so in my files which contain phone numbers I put a space between
each number. Just saved myself a thousand quid there.

Hi,
I know, but the big boys can handle it, JFW and Window-Eyes and even
Supernova has number control. It should be a basic function of any
screen
reader. I'm surprised NVDA doesn't do it at core level, since it was
written by two blind guys and you'd think numbers as words all the time
would drive them up the wall, especially when programming.

Hello,
Not trying to hijack, but even IOS has issues with something like
