Hi Dave:

I will remember what you have written about other screen readers. If I remember, I think there is a file on my Internet site about NVDA so I will have a look at it.

hi Francis!

These days it has become virtually impossible to make truly educational tutorials. I've reviewed countless ones over the years and even paid for many of them. Regardless of whether they were commercial or free, most of what I've listened to could be more aptly described as "look what I can do with my computer" exercises. Few explain such important things as what keys they are pressing when, or even more importantly, why they are pressing it.

There is, however, a good user's manual for nvda that is available on the project's web site or included with the program. It will tell you what you need to know. When possible they have largely copied Jaws for their commands so if you know basic jaws commands you should be at home fairly quickly with nvda. Just remember though, that you can't use jaws scripts with any other screen reader. That is pretty crucial when thinking about applications such as Skype.

Cheers,
Dave
