[nabs-l] A few questions about NVDA

[Josh Gregory]

Can it convert audio files too? For instance, MP3 to WMA, WAV to 
AAC, etc?

I know zamzar.com works,
I don't know any other solution.

 To be honest, I'm not sure.  Does anybody know? Thanks.

 Josh,
 Does it work with with the new MS word (2007/2010?)

 Kirt, from what I have seen and done with it, as I do have it,
 it's basically the same as JAWS but with a few command changes,
 to get to NVDA menu while in it press insert N, things like 
that.
 It's about as customizable as JAWS.  You can change the NVDA key
 from insert to shift, things like that.  The web browser
 experience is good, pretty similar to JAWS, form fields,
 headings, all that.  Edit fields are similar to JAWS, tab to an
 edit box, type in your info and when you hit enter it'll give
 kind of a clicking sound to tell you the text has been entered.
 I imagine the rest of the browser stuff is the same as JAWS.
 That's the web browser portion of it, and I imagine that it'd
 work the same with JAWS as most other apps like MS word and 
email
 and stuff like that.  What do people think? And, as I'm sure 
I've
 left * a lot * of stuff out, if I have, can people please add to
 this? Thanks!
 HTH,
 Josh

 Dear Nabs List,
  I'm helping a friend learn how to use computers.  Due to some
 circumstances I don't want to go in to, he's pretty much on his
 own
 with money and he can afford a decent laptop.  He has very 
little
 experience using computers.  Since he can't afford jaws, I was
 thinking about setting him up with NVDA and getting him started
 that
 way.  Do you guys think that's a viable option for basic 
computer
 use-web browsing, email, word processing and the like?  If so,
 how
 steap is the learning curve.  I consider myself an intermediate
 to
 advanced computer user, I've used jaws for years, but how 
similar
 is
 the NVDA interface with jaws?  I'd appreciate it if any NVDA
 users
 could get in touch with me, either on or off-list.
  Warmest regards,
 Kirt
