Hi Brian: I use the Window-eyes for Office version, and I do find that there are some lockups and things that don't work as well, so I use NVDA for those things. I have Windows 10 at the office and NVDA works well with it. The nice thing about NVDA is, first of all, it is open-source and several programmers around the world make improvements. Of course, a change or addition to the code cannot be made without the blessing of NV-Access, but each new version that comes out has changes that were suggested by users of the product. Listen to the latest episode of the NVAccess podcast at: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/podcast-episode-9/ Kevin Huber On 4/4/17, Brian Moore via Talk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi.
