Steve, as a 54-year old very active technology user who has been using Jaws since 1989 I have tried to use NVDA a few times and I just can't do much with it because of the differences. Yes, maybe some keys are similar, but it still is quite different as well. Of course then again I just have not felt motivated to really spend time learning it to the point where I might feel more comfortable with it since I always keep my Jaws up to date.

Hi Billy,
I don’t think it would.
Many of the keystrokes are similar to JAWS.
All the best

hi ED, at my time of life NVDA would be too much of a learning curve, as well as the health Issues I have, but thanks you guys, Billy From: Edward Green Sent: Tuesday, November 2, 2021 12:56 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.
Fi Billy, The annual subscription mentioned isn’t available tu us in the UK as yet. However, every summer Sight and Sound reduce the price of JAWS and other FS products in line with sales offered by FS. I can’t remember what the price of a JAWS licence was this year, but it wasn’t over £150 I don’t think. Hanging on until July/August is likely to be your best bet, though NVDA as has already been suggested is a capable screen reader which may well meet your needs.
