Hi.
I use nvda as my secondary screen reader for my work pcs because it is simply
the best screen reader out there.
I also just got a new pc for personal use and don't have plans to put a paid
screen reader on it.
Nvda will be the screen reader of choice on that pc.

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>
Stay well

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.
