Don, I'm still using WE with win 7. The thing which makes me hesitate to another screen reader is I don't what would replace the WE mouse keys. What did you do with NVDA to replace that function? John

I'm running win 7. Am I out of luck? John

Does NVDA have OCR? I have a PDF that is an image and want to see the text. Thanks. John

Balabolka is free and reads a number of formats. John

I haven't been following this thread but another similar program is copy path. The one Dan mentioned is good.

Gene, using Internet Explorer, it took me a few tries but I got it downloaded. On the first few tries, there was no error message, just silence.

Rosemarie, I think it is strange that a disability tech couldn't install NVDA. If possible, you might have a sighted person look at the screen while you try the install. John

Ollie, I have the webbie download if that would help. John

I have never liked forums as there is too much stuff to wade through. John

George, I think QRead reads pdf files but I don't know about preserving formats.

I believe that Balabolka can also read epub files.

Tea, I tried that and the url wasn't recognized.

I tried this link in QCast and the link wasn't recognized.

I don't believe one can use QCast to subscribe to tech talk podcasts from the link given. If we could get a subscription link, we could enter that into QCast.

pandora mail is a bit like Eudora and handles certificates and odd character sets better than Eudora. I haven't tried it with nvda but it worked well with Window Eyes. It costs $14. John

Brian, I have gotten it a couple of times. Both times, I clicked the link. John

how does NVDA change the settings of a program? I hope it warns first before changing settings.

What about the one in the webie bundle? John

If you have Microsoft Office 2010 or later, you can get Window Eyes for free. John

I tried Revo and wasn't impressed. I thought the uninstaller in the Puran Utilities was much better. That installer took out things that Revo left behind. John
