NVDA is great for mozilla applications and for when you are in a pinch
and Jaws dies on you. Beyond that, my use of it is pretty minimal.
My big gripe with it is that it is not scriptable. You can't create
different configuration sets that load whenever certain aplicaitons
are loaded. Having said that, I think NVVDA will overtake Jaws in
about 2 or 3 years because they keep adding more and more features to
it. Woudln't surprise me if the scripting feature I mentioned gets
added soon.

Hi,
This is just my opinion. JAWS is better in a serious business environment.
NVDA doesn't have good enough Microsoft Office support right now.

Subject: NVDA vs JFW
Hi,
My supervisor wants for me to study NVDA and put together a paper that shows
the differences, etc. in it and JFW. My question is does anyone know if
this has been already done before I try re-inventing the wheel?
I am impressed with NVDA, but am having difficulty learning it as I can only
work on it between my other assignments. Does anyone know if there is an
NVDA email list?
I am trying to conquer the key board commands in NVDA now in the web. I am
eager to get onto actual coding to see how well it works with that.
Thanks for any assistance,
Eileen La Fond
