I’m a Jaws user because it's a screen reader that my school provide me and it's also my favorite screen reader of choice. would also suggest NVDA if you want open source screen reader beside Narrator. I The commands like other users has stated, it similar to Jaws.

Hi, NVDA as well. I find, contrary to many beliefs, that having a quote on quote arsenal of screen readers is very useful in my daily life, just as the ability to work with multiple web browsers is too. As previously stated, many of the core functions of NVDA are similar to Jaws – one thing to keep in mind is how NVDA’s screen review works vs. object navigation versus the Jaws cursor and touch cursor.

Definitely N V D A. Just study the key commands, of which some are same as JAWS and some not; very easy.

Hello list members:
Since retiring I have been involved in a number of volunteer activities. Recently I had a conversation with a local agency who is looking for a volunteer to assist clients in completing an online registration form as part of an interview process regarding potential receipt of specific services. I understand that I cannot legally use one of my additional Jaws licenses because I have the Home version. Truth to tell, other than JAWS, I have never really worked with any other screen reader programs. Some years ago, Idid a cursory review of NVDA. I understand that Narrator has improved in some measurable ways. I know that there are other programs out there. For purposes of this opportunity, where I would need to load a screen reading program onto a laptop in order to conduct the interviews, I am looking for any recommendations of open-source screen Reader programs. Any assistance is appreciated.
Best, Justin

You could use one of your Jaws settings temporarily, if all you need
is the screen reader for a limited time and ask for a reset as well. On Sun, 02 Feb 2020 16:13:10 -0500, Joe wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una covici@ccs.covici.com

Hi Listers,
I’m running Windows 10 and using JAWS 2020.
I haven’t gotten “NOTIFICATIONS” on my screen in a very long time. Now, I keep getting it but forgot how to read it. Can someone help?
Thanks.

I would echo the NVDA choice. You can find a great deal of documentation on the screen reader. Look at NV Access https://www.nvaccess.org/ and Narrator is also a good choice as well with good documentation on its use. Joe

You may be right, digging through tw-blue, it seems like things are just thrown out in chronological order. I guess that is better than nothing, but I think I'll just use my phone.

You can follow conversations with the hotkey alt+windows+C. But the conversation gets displayed in its own buffer, which you can either access from the tree view or by moving the buffer focus with alt+windows+left-arrow. However, the conversation buffer only shows your conversation with a user, which is vastly different from a Twitter thread. I still can't figure out how to make TWBlue display complete threads. All I get are original tweets. I'm also speculating that TWBlue does in fact display replies to tweets, but rather than group them by thread, they're in chronological order. Even so, it's hard to follow a thread when it's broken up over hundreds of tweets. Orlando Enrique Fiol

Some machines can't be upgraded. I've usually found it out the hard way, so make a backup if you are going to try.

Re: Accessible SSH-clients there work with JAWS

Hi. If you are inclined to Install Cygwin, then it is where you
should go. It has a native SSH client, and, it will allow you to
work in a Linux environment on windows with very good results.
Acessibility is spot on. Cheers!
