Yes, I used it the other day when Jaws refused to work--very good reader. Why did they receive this grant, btw?

yeah I do have nvda as a back up and it is a well-made screen reader,
I sometimes just use it for the *** of it.

yeah NVDA is cool! and, unlike jaws, even with the access bridge, NVDA works with openOffice! at least the writer, haven't tried other stuff.

That is just handy all around. Wish Jaws would include an option to swap between verbal and beep pitch announcement of progress bars.

and you can use a mouse with NVDA! It rocks!

I did once come across a program called "four blind mice" that supposedly let us blindies use mice, using tones to indicate the mouse position. It was total pants though not to put too fine a point on it. Mice are just a very awkward medium for us in general.

Well mice used for a graphical interface are a no no to me at least. Using mice as a game controller is another story.

Hi, that's what NVDA does, but I've never tried 4 blind mice so don't know. next time you run NVDA, plug a mouse in and try it. on my old pc I was able to open some stuff on the desktop and put the pc in hybernation with the mouse! It was awesome!
