This is obviously highly subjective. I agree NVDA is a great screen reading option for Windows, but whether it's the greatest or not depends a lot on what you need it to do. I use it at home, and prefer it in many ways to other screen readers when it comes to reading mail, surfing the web and using iTunes. Two of my last three jobs though have been in Windows shops, and I couldn't have done either of those jobs if NVDA had been my only screen reading choice for Windows. I needed highly sophisticated screen reading abilities in applications like Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes.

If we're talking about comparing screen readers on Windows then I think we're getting off topic for this list.

you do not have the ability to obtain certain very advanced features
that you might need in advanced text editing in really complicated text
formatting etc ... but f.e. in webcontent I swear you get the best
results in comparison to even the most expensive and advanced screenreaders.

It's dumber than dumb. I just saw a message from the window eyes users
list yesterday that they don't even support iTunes 12. They stop at
version 11.

Hi all,

This is the dum response I got from Apple when I reported on how
inaccessible it was to our software.  Don’t know how they made their
choice in view of the fact that, right now, JAWS is the most popular
screen reading software in the world.  I’d like to know how people
using Windows Eyes are doing with iTunes 12.1

Hello,

Thank you for your email. At this time Apple includes support for the
Window-Eyes screen reader in iTunes. Other screen readers may require
an update.

If you find that another screen reader is not working correctly,
please check with the application developer to see if they have an
update for the software.
