most of us won't even get the $6.66 a day....which is why the liberals put the disability tax credit as part of it.
I will always suggest NVDA over jaws for two main reasons, the lesser of the two is that Jaws isn't a stable screen reader as it will tend to stutter or even crash as it did for me within 10 minutes of it being installed. The other main reason is the simple fact you can get the same voice packs for both software, the NVDA plugin is only a fraction of the price of Jaws. There are two minor reasons I also will never pay that outrageous price, the first being the removal of True Voice, the best voice pack ever created for a screen reader which I suspect was replaced due to cheaper licensing fees from Code Factory. The other is Jaws seems to be a resource hog, I have a new computer thats pretty beefy but testing Jaws out I noticed how slower it was to NVDA. If I was willing to empty my bank account to pay for Jaws they would at least need to add True Voice back into Jaws/Zoomtext, though I would miss how snappy NVDA is.
Thanks for the comment, it's nice to have choice isn't it? There are times when NVDA won't do what I need it to so I goto Jaws and times Jaws won't work so I go to NVDA and others when I have to use Narrator, by the way Jaws now has a annual home license which is more affordable than the License we are used to but it's only for home use, and if looking for employment many employers still won't let you install open source software which NVDA is.
I am wondering what song is playing during the commercial for this that airs on t.v. Sounds like the same voice, just a different humming.
I found it, the song is called Deer in a Tiger's Disguise by Elyn Sof :D
What is the song playing in this O.o
weird choice of things to build - a wall. You'd think a bridge or something might be more appropriate given that 'breaking down barriers" is probably closer to the mandate of AEBC than erecting walls.
