[Blindtlk] Question on what is the best screen-reader to use?

[Mike Freeman]

NVDA works better than JAWS to interpret the Adobe Flash updater. However,
with the "Convenient OCR" in JAWS 13, one can get enough out to handle the
updater.

I found that out when I had my Facebook account.

Hello,
I always find this to be a difficult question to answer. Jaws is fine, but
there are alternatives. I use a screen reader on Windows called NVDA, and
when I'm on the Mac I use voice over. It all depends on what you're going to
do and how much you want to sit down and learn something. NVDA is nice, but
it does have a few keystrokes that are different than draws. And if you're
not used to that, it can be sort of frustrating.
