Hello Gordon and all please feel free to contact us if you need help
with NVDA. Suffice to say all the settings are in the preferences menu,
accessed with the NVDA menu, NVDA-n, where NVDA is the insert key by
default.

hi all
OK, I've just installed an update to my InKey InfoVox 3 USB thumb drive and put
it, and the new NVDA, to the test for the first time.
The laptop I'm working with belongs to my youngest niece and until now, I have been using
Window-Eyes when I needed to do any work on it for her. However, I am going to remove Window-Eyes
when the updates which I'm downloading currently are installed. With NVDA I don't get these
irritating "Loading Page", "Loading Page" messages, and also pages which refuse
to refresh the MSAA buffer and all that nonsense.
I have yet to fully familiarise myself with NVDA, so I need to figure out how
to gain access to its settings and configuration options. But what I'm seeing
with regards how much it reads etc. is making me re-think the way I do things
under Windows.
Actually, Lynne has just pointed out to me that, if I want to remotely
administer Elli's computer, I'm going to need to have Window-Eyes on there. So
perhaps I'd better just leave it there, but disabled until required.
All the same, I'm very impressed indeed with NVDA and I think it's a project
well worth while supporting. So I will make a point of doing that. After all,
it's a means to an end, isn't it. It allows a visually impaired person to gain
access to their computers for free, most always, right out of the box. The
concept of InfoVox InKey is also a stroke of genius. Just plug in the thumb
drive, sit and wait a few seconds and then, wallah! There you have a talking
computer without the need to install anything. Yes, InfoVox was a bit on the
expensive side. But nowhere near the cost of Window-Eyes and all that stuff.
