[nabs-l] NVDA 2011.3 Released!

[Chris Nusbaum]

Oh cool! Well, hey, it's free, so I might download it! I use JAWS 
as well, but NVDA might be a good backup.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

I use NVDA as my primary/main screen reader.  There once was a 
time
when I did use JAWS, but it's been over a year, and I'm very glad 
that
I've stopped using it, and am using NVDA full-time.  It's 
extremely
fast, accurate, reliable, innovative, non-intrusive, free, has a
portable version making any Windows PC in the world accessible, 
and
developed by blind people.

 Thanks for sharing.  I will download now.  I use JAWS, but this 
has been my
 temporary screen reader in case something goes wrong.
