this free- open-source option compares. If you know how to type, understand
Windows basics, can commit to attending twelve sessions, and would like to
become more confident and proficient with the NVDA screen reader, this
workshop is for you! Please plan to join us each week for a hands-on lesson
and discussion. This workshop also includes a group mailing list where you

read and respond. We’ll cover the basics of customizing NVDA settings,
getting around in Windows 10, working with text, managing files and folders
and exploring the web.
