If NVDA maintainers really cared about helping
the Blind, then they would include a Jaws layout for those who want
it.
This is not unheard of, Microsoft Word used to
have a WordPerfect mode, where you could use WP keyboard commands and the WP
layout.
I think WindowEyes also had a Jaws KB layout as
well.
But the maintainers of NVDA are so anti-Jaws,
that they have to do anything they can to try to prove that their
product is better, to which I say it is not.
It does well, and is a good backup, probably
better than Narrator, but it does not come close to JFW, and they could do a
lot better to make it easier to recruit Jaws users.

If you can't afford JAWS, you can still use
it in 40 min mode. Or get NVDA, it is Free and is a great
screen reader and there are tutorials to help you migrate from JAWS to
NVDA.

Even so , its still going to be expensive however
much the discount is
Hi Chris,
Had you read my original message, you would have
seen that I was talking about their summer sale and not their regular
pricing.
In that sale, they discount both SMAs and new
licences.
Cheers,

No Chris, the £150 sale price extends to new
licences not just to SMAs.

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.
Cheers,
Ed
