is it hard to make NVDA read things on screen that you would use the
jaws cursor for?
interested to hear of anyone who went from JAWS to nvda and if any
difference in system performance etc.

hi all
OK, I now have NVDA recognising and using my Acapella speech system, and also
the iVona synthesiser as well. Whatever the problem was appears to have been
fixed by a shutdown restart because, when i went tentatively into the voice
settings configuration this evening, it just worked without a hitch. Also, I
simply cannot believe how responsive NVDA is in comparison to how Window-Eyes
7.5.4.1 was on my system previously. In fact, I never realised it was
Window-Eyes which was causing the sluggish behaviour I was so used to seeing
under Windows. I always thought it was the operating system itself. Not a bit
of it. GW Micro should be ashamed as to how much CPU time and overhead
Window-Eyes introduces into the operating system.
I removed Window-Eyes yesterday and now have NVDA set up as my default
screen-reader. I won't be reverting to Window-Eyes ever again, now that I have
seen the other side of Window. The whole machine is just so slick and fast
now, even the boot and shut down times are faster. Lynne tells me that in the
system monitor utility the CPU lag is much less and, in fact, there is hardly
any of it now. It used to be much much higher.
My only criticism of NVDA is that it seems to have support for only a very few
Braille displays, the Humanware ones not amongst them it would appear. Oh
well, I guess you cannot complain given that the software is donation-based.
Anyway, as far as speech goes, I am delighted with the difference that removing
Window-Eyes has made to my system. Time to do the same on my little NetBook I
think.
