I tried to look through my contacts with NVDA and it didn't work. I'm using Office 2007 Professional and I had to reboot the computer to get JAWS up and going again and straighten out the mess I got myself in. I use NVDA on a flash drive to work on my friends computers but that's about it. I have been using JAWS since 1996 and I'm not going anywhere. Remember, cars aren't the only things recalled by their maker!

I understand it is primarily a JAWS list . If any of you have info or opinions you could share with me though, perhaps you won't mind answering off-list? I am trying to determine how the free NVDA product compares with JAWS for basic screen reading. I don't use most of the bells and whistles of JAWS anyway and am wondering if I should re-new my SMA agreement. If NVDA will do most of what JAWS does, I am thinking that may be just as good for my needs. I have never used it though and have my doubts whether it is as functional as JAWS. Any suggestions or thoughts about this will be appreciated. Have a great day!
