I've used Jaws forever. I've been using NVDA for a few years, and I've 
tried System Access. what I've noticed with all three screen readers is 
that they sometimes fail to announce the clipboard messages (i.e., copy 
to clipboard, cut to clipboard, and pasted from clipboard). The problem 
is more likely to come up after a long session or after a lot of 
cutting/copying and pasting. When I'm feeling charitable, I imagine the 
screen reader is getting tired. I'd say Jaws is more likely to announce 
the clipboard messages when it's tired and NVDA is least likely, but 
they all do it.

As someone who does a lot of text editing, I like hearing this 
announcement in all situations, and I agree that screen readers should 
be very consistent about the messages.
