Hi

system access and nvda read flash content better, format websites better and do it almost twice as fast as jfw. they also take up way less memory, they word with word excel and powerpoint and have faster response times in those programs. NVDA can display its settings dialogs and help files in 30 some languages all for free, jfw can't do that. nvda's tts can read over 50 languages jfw's eloquence only reads 10. nvda and system access I think have better handling of aria live regions and dynamic websites than jfw11 does. system access works with vista speech recognition so you can talk to the computer and it types for you. with jfw you pay extra hundreds of dollars for that feature. nvda and system access work much better with itunes than jfw11 or jfw10 does. system access and the free system access to go is the only screen reader that lets you fully access the itunes store.

my blog is at http://jkenn337.klangoblog.net (updated frequently). Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at www.cherrypal.com to use windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all blind people can have an accessible computer.
