NVDA is a project I have absolutely no doubt in supporting. Good in principle, good in practice; good technology, good organisation, good licencing; and the best possible price!

Switching to NVDA late, late last year was one of the very best decisions I ever made personally or professionally. Absolutely well done to everyone involved in making this screen-reader such a success. For me personally, so much less stress in my life as a result of switching. I didn't realise it until doing so.

@FreakyFwoof It's really good to see that even the greatest Dolphin lovers can't resist NVDA.

@leonardder The one thing I flatly refuse to give up though, is Orpheus. That's my Eloquence for all you eloq lovers out there, so glad there's an addon that enables me to use that, otherwise things might have been quite different. haha

@FreakyFwoof I abandoned Orpheus in 2009 or so, but it was indeed really hard to switch, especially because it spoke Dutch pretty well and Eloquence doesn't. I'm now at ESpeak for around 5 years I think.

@leonardder @FreakyFwoof back in the day I wrote an Addon for the Apolo and Juno. Used it for month until the Juno gave its last breath.

@ragb @leonardder I still have a working juno connected to a telnet and icecast server, so you can telnet to it, and then tune your media player to it to hear what it says.

@FreakyFwoof I also had a pretty bad time switching from Orpheus 1 to 2, leaving Orpheus 1 on my system because I couldn't get used to 2.
