sevgiler: Rather than subjecting David to personal opinions about screen
readers, lets attempt to be objective to give him the information he needs.
In this instance, David is asking what screen reader people use most, not
necessarily which is the best or worst, or even which one performs poorly.
I happen to use NVDA right along side my JAWS, and they are, for me, very
comparable products, with the added bonus that NVDA is free. Plenty of
people use NVDA on a regular basis without complaint, so such negative
statements about its viability are at best unfair.
Criticism is all well and good (I do plenty of that myself), but lets do so
in an appropriate thread/forum, if we must.

Subject: [Audyssey] Windows screen reader software?
Hi folks,
My apologies if I bring up a question that has already been discussed to
death, but I don't see anything about this in a casual browsing of the
archives.
At first I thought I didn't have any screen reader software, so I
couldn't test the accessibility of my RSW website directly. But then I
realized that every Mac has VoiceOver built-in, and it's quite nice!
I've been going through my web pages with VoiceOver, and I've found a
number of minor issues that I'll be correcting.
But I'd hate to fine-tune my pages to VoiceOver's quirks only, without
knowing about similar quirks in other software. In particular, what do
Windows users typically use to browse the web? I see that Narrator is
built-in to Windows, but it's almost unusable. Even Narrator itself
recommends users buy a third-party program instead.
So, if I were to purchase one such third-party program for the purpose
of testing my website's accessibility under Windows, which program
should it be?
Thanks!
David
