I use nvda and like it. I also have jaws, but Sometimes nvda even works better then jaws. Like for example some boxes or buttons that jaws does not show, nvda does.

Subject: [off-topic] NVDA

Hello all,
So I've been doing some research on NVDA, and I must say that it seems very interesting. 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?
Thanks, Shane.
