someone share me or list out some or all the differences between JAWS and
NVDA screen reader when it comes to Accessibility/Working with both the
screen readers? I would be Very much thankful.

Hi Allyssa,
The following guide might be useful to them:
Switching From JAWS To NVDA
The purpose of this guide, which continues to receive updates, is to assist users of JAWS (Job Access With Speech) in switching to the open-source screen reader NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) with ease. It assumes prior knowledge of JAWS and that you are proficient in its use. It is not intended to be a replacement of the included user guide, but as a means to make NVDA seem less daunting:
