am completely sure that i never use windows ten! sometimes i use 2017.3 sometimes 2017.2. 2017.3 is very great for the people who can use builtin ocr of windows ten, but i used it more than one month and did not find any especial feature or bug fixed for myself. maybe i am novice and dont need many programs that people use in general.

Has anybody like you asked the developers of NVDA to fix your persion speech for you so you can upgrade to windows ten if you have to? I’m sure there are other people who use persion as well. I thought they would have updated it. Then you would not have to stay on 17.3

hi. many people whome i know, dont use nvda because of several reasons: i disagree with most of them! 1. they dont know nvda and simply say: because its free, it means that its not good, or its imperfect, even one of them told that nvda is like a toy! not screen reader of daily use! i became very sad for there claim, i really love nvda, and promised to use it till the end of my life, even when one day i become sighted! i dont believe that nvda is only for blind users, its one of the divine blessings for me that i never want to miss it! 2. nvda cursor are not simple as jaws cursor. i agree with this part, and i wish that nvda cursor worked exactly as jaws cursor without need to use numpad! 3. they simply dont love espeak and they wish to use eloquence, but i disagree about this part too! iven voice i believe that its the most lovely, sweet, friendly, and enjoyable voice and that i even dont think about other voices and synthesizers. i can read hundreds of pages of book with this excellent voice using SayAll! its voice is very understandable, (but i only love english US voice and its one of the main reasons that i cant use beyond 2017.2 and 2017.3 versions of nvda. 2017.4 and later, has not the capability of using persian plus english US! 4. many people like me, hate ribbons and they are glad for using jaws, because jaws has virtual ribbon menues, that enables them to use ribbons as they use classic menues! 5. jaws is very customizable, and has numerous settings for change. but honestly, i really love the simplicity of nvda settings! hope that help you and nvda developers. God bless you!

Hi Judith, Assuming you are coming from another screenreader, then often the biggest thing for people is the voice, although depending on how you use your other screen reader, you might find that you need to modify some of NVDA's default settings to be more like what you are used to. If you are coming from Jaws, there is a handy guide for things you might find useful here: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda-community/wiki/SwitchingFromJawsToNVDA If you are coming from Window Eyes there is also a guide: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda-community/wiki/Switching-from-Window-Eyes-to-NVDA And just on the voices on their own, we have a page of extra voices here: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/ExtraVoices Kind regards Quentin.

Since I don’t know how you use your other screen-reader, I can’t tell you
what you need to know. Do you use the JAWS cursor or the JAWS Touch
Cursor? If not, you may only need to know a small number of NVDA commands
such as read to end, how to change the synthesizer being used and adjust things
like rate and punctuation as far as learning new commands is concerned.
The navigation commands when browsing are either identical or just about
identical to JAWS commands.

Subject: [nvda] Tips for a new nvda user Hi guys,
Yes, I do have friends who use NVDA on a daily basis but still, I wanted to
get some other points of you as well.
What do you think is essential for a user to have to be able to use NVDA
comfortably on a daily basis?
I appreciate everyone’s help and I hope you stay safe and have an amazing
evening/day/night.

Of overall importance, the voice that it uses. I’ve a friend here in Tampico, who wasn’t convinced of what NVDA had to offer, until he came across the Valeria Akapela voice; now he says if he could have that voice for life, he’d switch fulltime to NVDA.
