Hello, Pratik. Do you know if the latest iteration of NVDA works with Office 2010?

I am working with several large University clients to install NVDA on their machines and include it as a standard part of machine images. Unless there are specific requests forJAWS features, they are instituting training programs forNVDA to all students who need screen readers.

Regards,

Pratik

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?
