[nabs-l] NVDA lag issues

[Meaghan Roper]

Hi Steve and Louis,

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately we are not using JAWS because we run
these tests for the largest markets and that's for users running NVDA. If
it were up to me we'd be using JAWS, though. Thanks for the help; I'm
hoping it works.

Best,

Meaghan
