By default it uses the eSpeak synth, but you can tell it to use others on your machine, but, honestly, I just stick to eSpeak, since that also includes all the languages - including Afrikaans, which is the one I generally want to be able to read things in.

NVDA actually has quite a few of the same keystrokes/shortcuts as jaws, but it also has a few that I sometimes wish jaws has, like the ones that let you a bit more easily navigate parent/child controls, etc.My main use of NVDA is either as backup, or for different languages, but I also keep the portable version on my flash drives since it means I can quite easily work on other people's machines without any software installation.In other words, while I need/use jaws for lots of work tasks etc., NVDA is definitely my second best choice, and it's getting better all the time - and it's _free_.Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...'----- Original Message ----- From: "Lafond, Eileen" <Eileen.Lafond@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 7:56 PM Subject: RE: Fw: youtube video, jaws versus NVDASo what you are saying is that it will not have it's own shortcuts as JAWS has mainly with the num pad, or maybe fewer short cuts.-----Original Message-----From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DaShiell, Jude T.
