including the 2010 version, though I am coming at this only as a
tester, not as a screen reader reliant user. NVDA themselves state
that their product does not work with Access or PowerPoint. And it
works only partially with Outlook 2010.
NVDA recommends use of Mozilla Thunderbird as an installed mail
client, in lieu of Outlook.

For the most part no it does not. NVDA is a great
general access product, but it is totally unsuitable for
access to most academic software and applications such
as MS Office.<br>

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.<br>

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.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
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?<br>
