I use NVDA as my secondary screen reader, partly since it uses quite a few of the same keystrokes as my primary screen reader, jaws 14, but, also since it has much better multi-language support/usage built in, and, yes, I think it had better windows8 support than the expensive screen readers did initially, but, since it's free, it doesn't hurt to try it at all...<smile>

My wife and I just bought a Toshiba Laptop two days ago, running Windows 8. And from what I've heard, unless you have Jaws 14 or higher, then Jaws won't work on W 8. I've thought about getting Jaws 15 when it comes out from Jaws 11, but I can imagine that would probably be pretty expensive, and since we are just coming off of paying for our wedding, that may be put on hold… However, after listening to a few podcasts on NVDA, and hearing about what all it can do, along with the fact that it is free and open sourced, I think I may give this a try. So I was wondering, do any of y'all use NVDA, and if so, what do you think of it? I heard that this particular program can be used with Windows 8, so of course that's always a plus… I joined the freelist mailing list for NVDA, but I no that there are some other mailing list… So I was curious to know which ones would you guys recommend me joining besides the one that I just subscribed to?
