Dave: Quick thought is that NVDA deliberately uses a key command set similar to JAWS. If someone is stuck because JAWS doesn't work with Office, they may be able to get back up to speed faster with NVDA than with Window-Eyes. We have installed NVDA on our networked PCs and so far it's working well.

Do I understand correctly that this version of Window-Eyes works with
Windows itself and other programs, not just the ones in Office? The only
link to Office is that an Office 2010 or later license is required?

Does anyone have any quick thoughts on Window-Eyes vs NVDA?

Thanks,
Dave Merrill
