I do use nvda from time to time and find it reasonably okay, though not as
smooth as jfw.
I've used jaws since version 3.2, and have probably spent several thousands
of pounds over the years.
I'd also have to find out if my employer would allow it on their systems.
Knowing them as I do, the answer would probably be no.
Out of interest though, is there anyone on the list who uses nvda on a large
network at work?
Thanks
Terry

window eyes
Hello Terry,
Why don't you give NVDA a try before you commit to spending another wadge of
cash?
It's easy to download and install and most of the key-bindings are the same
as those for Jaws.

There is a vibrant and lively support forum also.

Hi all
I won't bore you with my rant about having to keep asking for my dam
jaws keys to be re-setby FS, as it's long.
What I wanted to know, is how window eyes is activated and or authorised.
Is it the same annoying method that FS use, or a sensible mainstream
method, i.e. you are provided with a serial number, and can install it
on your own pc as many times as you choose.
Thanks for any help.
Terry

Hi Andy
For the moment I'm only using the Scandisk Clip+ for a trial period. I
don't think this device has any more than track ability available. If
I get on well with using extra books I am considering the Victor Reader
Stream.

Hi Roger
If you are using a victor stream or perhaps a booksense, you can
rewind by 1 minute or 5 or 10 and even up to 30 on the stream, not
sure about the booksense, how would this work on the plextalk pocket I
wonder?

Hi All
I've just joined the Audible UK book library and have just downloaded
my first book. Quite a long one at 32 hours and only in 4 parts. This
means if I need to go back over ground already read I can only do so
by going back to the start of the current track which are around 8
hours long. It would be just great to break these down into smaller
tracks but the file format is .aa which I understand is Audible's
encrypted system which is not breakable by any software available.
If this is correct does anyone know of a solution to my problem, please.
Many thanks
Roger
