A lot of the keystrokes are the same as jaws.

Andrew,

Go to:

http://www.nvda-project.org

Follow the download link and download 2012.2.1

Click on the downloaded file. It is a talking installer so you might need to silence Jaws while you install it.

It doesn't, as far as I know, use the same key-strokes as Jaws, but then Jaws doesn't use the same key-strokes as NVDA.

If you want a screen-reader that uses exactly the same key-strokes as Jaws then stick to Jaws.

As far as the question 'will it do the same as Jaws' is concerned, the answer is probably no. But then WindowEyes, Supernova and System Access don't do the same. They just attempt to perform the same result in slightly different ways.

I use NVDA because I am not prepared to pay four times as much as my PC cost just to make it accessible.

Hi Peter Ok a couple of people have said about NVDA besides it being free, what other help is it. the last time I tried to download it I had problems and haven't tried since. will it do the same as Jaws? does it use the same keystrokes? I am prepared to give it another go if I'm told how to do what I need to for to download it.

Andy, Afraid you will need Jaws Pro if you're running a pro version of
Windows.  Shame about that.

Hi Ok I see what you mean, but what is the price difference? I use
pro because I  have windows  pro 7 on my laptop.

Andy, If price is a consideration, I wonder if you still need the pro
version?  You can now save money by downgrading JAWS to standard if you
don't need pro, and most people won't need pro in a home environment.
