Re: A Modern Day Comparison of JAWS and NVDA
hi, btman16,
let me address some of your questions.
first off. the mirror display driver errors u are getting, is exactly what i was refering to in my post. you see the issue is that its a very complex piece of software on its own. and granted, screen readers by them selves are very very complex things. the main big issue with jaws here, is that u have code on top of code. that does certen things. and in time, it has become bloated. unneded code that is. if FS really wanted to, they could very easily trim down the size of jfw. and do a host of things, i'll not go in to here. so for the sake to keep the conversation simplified. i'll answer you in this way. the fact you are getting this error has to do with the graffics driver on your pc. how ever, it may also have to do with secuirity settings in use on the pc, or, left over files from previous versions of jaws. or, simply other files on windows itself. it may even be a failed install in the past. of jfw, trigge
ring this error. without asking you more spisiffic questions. i cant pin point the exact issue to help you. but no that this is 1 of the main reasons this screen reader is a pain to get installed. on some computers. o, and lack of admin rights, may also prevent you. ah and uff corse, if the pc tech there mest around with groop policy settings? he may have in advertantly added a setting or changed something that messes with the propper install of the jaws display driver.
now on to your next question.
for businesses that clames that nvda is a secuirity risk, sadly the person who manages there computer department, is a idiot. sadly, he nose nothing about screen readers and ware and how they store there files.
for him to clame that nvda is a security risk is faulse. infact freedom scientific poses a grater risk, if you asked me. i wil leave u with the following questions to ponder. on that topic.
because one. we do not no what info they coll
ect about the computer you install jaws on. when info is send to there servers, you cannot verify exactly what is being send. this meens some confodensial business info may be sent. but to explain this to the guy who manages a business computer department is a chor.
sadly if the computer guy advises the boss. that is, the guy who pays for jaws to be installed on the computers, that nvda is a security risk, the boss wil have to take his word for it, as he or she may not be tec savvi.
its sad to see how much money they'd waste, installing that screen reader if, the job can be done by a free screen reader. then again, perhaps they have a stigma that any free software is a secuirity risk, in wich cace, i'd run as far as i can from that guy who manages there software installs, :d
how ever. if your job requires the explisit use of jaws ware access is not available. meening, if nvda does not support a spisiffic ap you are using, then its all fine
and dandy.
how ever claming that nvda is a risk? is sadly a very huge understatement, and, i as a pc tech, would love to speek to the guy who made that asesment in that cumpony.
:d :d
i hope i answered a few of your questions.
have a wonderful fluffy day.
