Greetings David.
Despite its prohibitive cost, JAWS definitely dominates the screen reader
market due to governmental endorsement through purchase orders for
educational institutions and other services.
Regarding making your site accessible: generally, if it's accessible to
NVDA, it will more than likely be accessible to the bigger screen readers
(JAWS, Window-Eyes, System Access, etc). Feel free to test your site with
NVDA. At worst, you'll get some strange JAWS behaviour, which can be
rectified upon user input.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Windows screen reader software?
Thanks for the advice, everyone! NVDA and System Access are workable, but
clumsy. JAWS is much nicer, it approaches VoiceOver in usability, but
it's incredibly expensive (you could buy a new computer for less). Of
course, I can use it in the free demo mode for my purposes, but do people
really spend so much on JAWS?
I guess the most important question is, what software do people actually
use? I see after a quick inspection that all of these options read my
webpages slightly differently. I don't want to waste time making it work
well with a program that no one uses.
Thanks,
David
