[Athen] screen readers other than jaws?

[Ken Petri]

It works decently with most of Office, including 2010--Word, Excel. But it
does not work with PowerPoint in any version (and may never, from what I've
seen from past feature request responses to the NVDA ticket system:
http://www.nvda-project.org/ticket/501 -- it's considered an enhancement).
I'm certainly not in love with PowerPoint, but it is very widely used at
our institution. It also doesn't work with Outlook 2010 (yet?), but maybe
that is a blessing ;-)

Perhaps someone has more recent info on NVDA support for PowerPoint?

And here is the NVDA app support page:
