I don't know about that but WindowEyes is a good piece of software and for the most part works and is cheap if you get the Office version. It needs some tlc from the staff, don't know if they are capable, but out of the box it does allot and for the price is pretty good. I use JAWS and Narrator as my backup screen readers and have needed them often when WindowEyes carps out but it is indeed a good thing to have options if using WindowEyes as your base reader. I don't know about NVDA since I have never liked, guess just never really learned or understood, how it works. But there, is in my opinion, no question that you should have at least one backup reader and that Narrator is ok but not the answer at all as a stand-alone reader but if you use WindowEyes you need a backup when things go South.

If I uncheck all of the boxes that relate to defeating Window-Eyes at start-up, it does not allow me to select another screen reader to start in its place. If I try to have either System Access or NVDA start in the place of Window-Eyes, I get the message that another screen reader is already running. Press enter to close this box. I can close Window-Eyes and wait for thirty seconds before trying to use either NVDA or System Access. Is anyone on this list facing this challenge? I do have the same screen readers on another computer running Windows 7. I have System Access as the default screen reader. Window-Eyes does not try to take over. I can unload System Access, use NVDA or Window-Eyes by pressing their hotkey.I don't even have to wait to mlaunch each screen reader with their hotkey. I just would like the Windows 8.1 computer to work in the same manner as the Windows 7 computer. I look forward to suggestions to try from people on this list.
