Hi Brian,

Will answer you in more detail offlist.

There are several lists for both screen readers (NVDA and Window-Eyes). A moer 
general list is Blind Geek Zone or Blind Tech (or even tech Talk).

Cheers,

Joseph

Subject: JAWS, NVDA, & Window Eyes Parallels

 

I know that this is a JAWS forum, and if the consensus is that this sort of 
discussion is inappropriate here then I'll just drop it.

I have a number of clients who use multiple screen readers, many use two and a 
significant number have used all three.  Since NVDA is free and WindowEyes is 
available for free (or was) in basic form for MS-Office users both are 
reasonably common as backup(s).

I am most familiar with JAWS, am getting more familiar with NVDA, and haven't 
touched Window Eyes yet.

Is it OK to ask a question of the general form, "How do you do something in 
NVDA or Window Eyes that you do in JAWS by {insert steps here}?" or, "JAWS does 
{insert behavior here} when you  {insert action or keystrokes here}, what's the 
equivalent in Window Eyes or NVDA?," or vice-versa?

If there are other forums or emailing lists that are more generally targeted to 
screen reader users rather than JAWS users feel free to point me to them.  
However, if they're single screen reader focused then the same complication 
exists (but I can make this query in those venues, too).

Brian
