[nabs-l] Internships

Sun Aug 3 06:20:41 UTC 2014

Hi Arielle and all! I just wanted to ask you, since we are talking about 
screen readers, do you know where I can download the NVDA screen reader in 
order to put it on my thumb drive and take it everywere in order to use it 
in other people laptops? And also to use it on my laptop computer? Just 
wondering. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks and God bless! :)

Hi Sofia,
Congrats on the internship!
I had three different summer jobs in high school and college that
involved computers. Each timeI used JAWS in demo mode; I don't think
the USB's existed yet. It was no problem using JAWS in demo mode.
Also, if you have JAWS on your home computer, I think you can install
a full version on up to three computers. I recently installed my full
JAWS license on my new work computer and I just called Freedom
Scientific and asked them to reset my license (since I had formerly
run it on an old laptop I no longer use) and they did without any
trouble or additional cost.
Of course you could also try NVDA.
Sorry I don't know the answer to your USB question.
Best,
Arielle
