Harvey,
Yes there is a way to have multiple screenreaders on a computer. Make sure
your second screenreader isn't made to automatically start when the computer
starts. Here I have Jaws as primary and NVDA as secondary.
If I for example want to switch to NVDA I will shut down Jfw and hit the hot
key combo that starts NVDA. When I am done with NVDA I will hit the insert
q keys. That unloads NVDA. I then will hit the hot key that relaunches
Jaws.
I hope this helps.
