[nabs-l] [Blindtlk] A few questions about NVDA

[Chris Nusbaum]

Kirt,

I forwarded your NVDA questions to the Blind Talk list.  This is 
in response to that.

I go back and forth between jaws and NVDA.  They're similar in 
the fact that
they're both screen readers, and that you can have them start 
when your
computer starts.  You can also use either of them for email or 
word
processing really easily, especially if you use an email program 
such as
outlook express or Microsoft office outlook.  It's also fairly 
easy to use on
the internet, I've not figured out if NVDA has a links list 
command like
jaws or not, but like I said it is fairly easy to use.

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
