Hi, Yes, there have been significant improvements in NVDA.
The developers have been working heavily with IAccessible2 accessibility API. This makes OpenOffice quite accessible. IBM Lotus Symphony (another free office package) is also supported by NVDA. NVDA developers have found an innovative method to deal with flash and java applets. NVDA also works very well with Java based applications. It also allows you to navigate with the mouse; instead of treating it has a useless device. The speech and sound feedback available while using the mouse has a huge potential of being useful with the optional touch screen interface of Windows 7. Although it is difficult to understand eSpeak synthesizer, it pronounces most of the Indian names correctly. Regards “I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive.
