I must admit I was dismayed when I read about the price increases for #JAWS. I’ve been using it for nearly 20 years. I’m no expert, but I’ve got it set up the way I like it to do the things I need to do. I’ve still got a year left on my latest SMA, but at treble the price, can I justify taking out the new Home subscription. I suppose it works out at around £35 per month, and a screen reader is essential for me, but many folk won’t be able to afford that, especially as it’s only available through an annual payment.
Maybe it’s time to try #NVDA.

in reply to Gordon Anthony • • •We'd be happy to help you try NVDA. You can find a guide to coming across from Jaws here: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/…
And you can even get Eloquence: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/…
The user guide has a handy quick start guide to get you going: download.nvaccess.org/document…
And we have training materials if you'd like something more in-depth: nvaccess.org/shop/ (that is paid, $32 Australian, roughly £15-16, for the electronic text) the previously mentioned guides are free).

in reply to Gordon Anthony • • •You can happily have both installed at once - obviously you won't want both TALKING at once. The default keystroke to start NVDA is control+alt+n, and to quit it is NVDA+q (insert+q or caps lock+q depending on how you have it setup) then enter.
Feell free to give us a shout if you do try NVDA and get stuck with anything :)
