Some of our campuses are looking at putting NVDA on all their computers and
providing JAWS for those few who request it.

So far, JAWS has worked well here. I have had a few students who use System
Access on their own, but they use JAWS when on campus. No complaints.

Hello,

Happy new year - I've been curious so figured I'd ask if campuses are
standardizing on screen readers other than the perennial, JAWS? Are you
finding you are needing to have a mix of screen reading software available
for blind/visually impaired users?
