Think newish versions of jaws should handle touch screen, but, think NVDA was
actually first one to have touch screen support built into it, and, otherwise,
windows 8 narrator is meant to handle quite a lot more than any previous
operating system's versions did - here's a page relating to accessibility
tutorials - seems to include customising gestures and keyboard shortcuts
yourself, etc. etc.:

Subject: [off-topic] windows 8
Hello everyone.
This week I finally made the jump to windows 8 replacing an old xp netbook.
Just so nobody tells me what a big change that is, my main computer is
running win 7.
The computer is an acer 11.6 inch touch screen laptop.
Now the questions.
What is the best screen reader to use if you use both touch and the
keyboard.something without touch support isn't an option.
Also. Any tips on the os itself?
Thanks.
