I feel it would be detrimental to this list if we couldn't discuss how JAWS differs from, or might be complemented by, another screenreader.
Gudrun -----Original Message----- From: Brian Vogel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2016 3:44 PM To: [email protected] 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).
