[nabs-l] NVDA and other screen readers

[Ashley Bramlett]

Oh, that is how you change the voices. Good to know for when I install it. 
So, then it has more voices than espeak.
What other voices are there?

Hello,
go to the NVDA menu and go to voices and change the synthesizer to SAPI.
NVDA 12 also has support for some more voices I'm not sure about.
I believe the read all command is the same with nvda as it is with Jaws, but
I don't use it for reading all, so idk.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Hi all,
I wonder what other free  voices are out there? I'm concerned I won't
understand the british accent of the Espeak voice.

Also how do you turn NVDA off and do you use the numeric keypad for reading
commands? Do you press insert up and down arrow to read current and say all
lines?

Hi Ashley,

As Joshua said, you can download NVDA from www.nvda-project.org. You might
also want to check out mainmenu.acbradio.org. The Main Menu team put
together a comprehensive ZIP file which includes the NVDA screen reader
itself along with a lot of tutorials on how to use it.

As for comparisons, I can't really speak to that. I did download NVDA as a
backup screen reader in case JAWS didn't work for something. However, after
a couple weeks of using it, I didn't really like it and uninstalled it. I
don't know if this was just a matter of my inexperience with using NVDA and
my experience with using JAWS or if it's just that JAWS is a better screen
reader, but I'll leave that up to more experienced NVDA users to decide.

Chris

Hi all,

Where do you download NVDA? Are there tutorials to learn to use it?
Also, how does it compare with paid screen readers such as jaws? Does it
read the internet just as well?

I’m thinking of downloading it if I volunteer somewhere.

Thanks.
Ashley
