It's not just 'kind of true'. It's absolutely true.
I have thought of writing a Windows service app which will run on the PC
and detect when an NVDA pen is plugged in. But there's not point,
Because NVDA costs nothing you could install it on a thousand PCs for
about the same cost of one Jaws licence.

Hi,
This is kind of true. Acapela have a copy of NVDA on a memory stick that
run with their voices. You have to press enter when the autorun dialog
comes up but it will start after that.
All the best

Adrien,
Nowadays Windows will not allow applications to autostart from a
replaceable drive.
Even the commercial screen-readers rely on a service running on the PC
to start the reader.
Supernova has the Dolphiin autostart service and Jaws has another
version of the same thing.

Hi
I have set-up nvda on usb pen, how can I get it to autorun,
I have the autorun.inf file, for some strange reason,
Microsoft have stopped it running usb pens with exe files. I
found a lot on google but I don't know what is safe. I am
trying to help a friend who helps other people with their
pc's but doesn't have jaws portable.
Regards
Adrien
