What has been your experience of using https://www.nvaccess.org/ . I would like to become more informed about the pros-n-cons, limitations of the free software. Is JAWS still the "gold standard" for employment settings??? Thanks. Susan Olson

Hi, Jaws is most definitely the Gold Standard for employment because of its scriptability, configurability, and support on-demand. Having said that: NVDA is evolving into a fantastic, free alternative with the ability to create custom add-ons for specific applications. I actually use NVDA a fair amount on highly complex websites, and its performance is spectacular. If there's money in the budget, roll with Jaws and the support that comes with it. If there's not, except that "freeware" = no formal support. Smile Warmest Regards, Larry L.
