Hi,
I have the latest NVDA release and it has improved a lot over previous
versions. I do not use NVDA as my primary screen reader, but it is a good
backup program. I use Window-Eyes as my primary screen reader, but NVDA
works quite well.

Lou,
Massive improvements have been made to the NVDA program in recent years.
So, I think you will find it is substantially better now than it was even a
couple of years ago. That is why I am seriously considering switching over
to it. I tried it back when it first came out, and was not very impressed,
but I was comparing it at that time with JAWS. However, I have been
following its development, talked with Riley about it and think it is time
to give it another try.
It can be put on a USB drive and access it from the USB drive. I know JAWS
can be accessed that way too, but you have to pay extra for that feature.
