I sincerely hope that Freedom, GW and the rest have seen what they're doing with NVDA and are suitably worried. Maybe it'll convince them they need to lower their extortionate prices. If not, I hope that NVDA, along with, of course, Apple, eventually put them all out of business.
I confess that I haven't really played with nVDA all that much yet, I'm still walking that long and difficult road to recovery. But I'm starting to regain my old enthusiasm for this sort of thing, slowly but surely. My problem at the moment with NVDA is finding all of the reading keys. My primary Windows machine is a Samsung Notebook which has a Japanese style keyboard. It took me a while to get used too, but now I am just about there. But the point is that I haven't yet memorised all of the NVDA keys and I've forgotten most of the Window-Eyes laptop layout. As I'm sure you'll be aware, control of mouse functions is essential for some of the modern Windos software. For that reason I've had problems with some newer applications. My second major problem with NVDA is somewhat more difficult to resolve it would seem. That being support for Braille displays. From what I've read, NVDA doesn't natively support them at all, and you need to have another application running, whose name I have forgotten. But even that would cause problems for me I think if I need to go back to Window-Eyes for any reason. I gather that it runs as a system service and, therefore, would be somewhat difficult to terminate. That could cause a bit of a conflict with Window-Eyes, even though WE relies on those rickety old dynamic link libraries, (DLL) drivers.
