Stephen,
Thanks for your tips.
Ik work already with Jaws14 and I have a Jaws professional version.
Jaws 14 supports windows 8, and so does NVDA
I have to find out the quality of support.
If not sufficient for me, I'll choose win 7.

Yours. Martien.

  Martien,
  I would suggest you avoid Windows 8 at all costs. You would have to upgrade 
Jaws to Jaws 14 for one thing. Even then that would depend on which version of 
Windows 8 you install. If it is standard then, regular jaws 14 will be enough, 
but if it is windows 8 pro, then Jaws 14 will have to be pro as well.
  Best Wishes
  Stephen

  Stephen,
  Tanks for your attention, but I know support will stop.
  During the commung time I have to find out the accessability of windows 8 and 
other possibilities.

  yours. Martien.

    Martien,
    If you are using Windows XP, you will have to change this as I have heard 
from a friend of mine who has a computer repair business, that Microsoft are 
withdrawing their support for this system next year.
    Best Wishes
    Stephen

    Dear Stan,

    I normally  use Jaws14 and win-xp
    but as far as I know, in NVDA: press 3 times quick on the numeric 5 of your 
keyboard.
    1 time pressing f5: word or line
    2 times: spell
    3 times: what you asked.

    I do not know about a braille tutorial.
    Did you use the help function in the NVDA menu?

    Yours. Martien.

      Hi all,

      I have recently changed from my old Jaws 8 screen reader to NVDA.  In the 
old system I was able to make the speech spell out phonetically by a double 
press on the number 5 when in the reply to sender mode.  Does anyone know how 
this is done with NVDA?  My computer is working on Windows 7 And I email with 
windows live mail.

      And, a second question: Does anyone know of a braille vertion of the NVDA 
tutorial?

      Best of luck to all from a still fairly sunny England.  Our best summer 
for a few years.

      Stan
