Check out NVDA Screen reader.

 

It is very close to Jaws in many ways.

Hi all,

I know that this might be a better topic for the many tech email lists I'm on

but I'm wanting general thoughts not steps for how to do a particular thing with

a screen reader so I thought I'd ask here but if you think that I should post

this on the tech lists then feel free to tell me. Anyway I currently use JAWS as

my screen reader but I'm starting to not like the fact that you have to pay

every 2 years in order to continue to get updates and there's a free screen

reader that you can download that's apparently fairly similar to JAWS. So for

those of you who use a Windows computer which screen reader do you use and what

do you like/dislike about it? I know it couldn't hurt to just download the free

one and try it but I'm just having a hard time deciding what to do so thought

I'd ask though I know none of you can make the decision for me. I look forward

to reading whatever anyone has to say though I don't really want it to turn into

a fiery debate.

Madison
