That's sort of like trying to get the Windows and Mac OS to have exactly the same user experience. Screen reader developers have their own opinions on how things should be voiced and users often gravitate to one or the other based on those differences. While both screen readers have extensive options to personalize the reading experience, some of the voicing for interactions is essentially hard coded and cannot be changed by the user.

Hello all,

I am wondering if it is possible to have NVDA and JAWS always read the same
way. One of our government clients is using both to audit documents and
we're having a hard time marrying the two to read things exactly the same
way.

I have my explanations but wanted to get some professional opinions
from this community. Any insight is appreciated.

Ilana
