[blindlaw] Any Tips on NVDA Portability Feature?

[samarositz at gmail.com]

Hi Anita and All

NVDA in portable mode works like any other program that you can run from a
flash drive.  That is to say, it works, but you may encounter difficulty
using it in a  public setting like a library at least initially .

First, you will have difficulty running the program from the keyboard
without speech because you will not know what drive letter the computer
assigned to the flash drive.  
Second, assuming you get NVDA to run, most public access computers like
those in a library either have the sound muted or simply don't have a sound
card at all.  If that is the case in your situation, you will not be able to
hear NVDA once in launches.  

I hope this helps

Alex

Dear All:

 

The law school library did not have JAWS or ZoomText on their computers.
NVDA can be used as a great way to jump that hurdle.

 

You may already know that NVDA is portable, but I did not until today. The
way that it was explained to me is that as long as you have NVDA on your
thumb / jump drive, you do not have to download it onto the computer you are
using.

 

Anyone who has used the NVDA portability feature, please share how it has
worked for you.

 

Thank you.
