I agree with the view that NVDA has come a long way. I also donate now when I update. I think potentially a very exciting feature of NVDA is the new add ons feature. I have yet to try OCR on the go but the system tray lister is working well and the virtualisation window looks a very useful tool. By the way the easy way to get to settings is to press NVDA plus N which will bring up a Menu which will include Preferences Tools Help etc. David Griffith [email protected]
