Thomas,

           This is built in to NVDA itself, under the NVDA Help Menu.  If you hit NVDA+N,H,Q (NVDA Main Menu, Help Submenu, Commands Quick Reference) you'll be presented with the long list of the most commonly used key commands, including reading commands, in whatever web browser you have set as your default.

            Also take a look at the other options under the Help Submenu.

Thomas,

          If you're using the desktop keyboard layout [most likely, and the default on any keyboard that includes a number pad] the NVDA key is Insert and if you're using the laptop keyboard layout it's CAPS LOCK.

Hello thomas! Just hold down the nbda key, and press the letter n as in Nancy to bring up the main menu. Then, down arrow to the help submenu and press the right arrow key to open that period then, up arrow and press enter on the users guide. And entire guide for using nvda well open in your default browser. All of the key commands are in chapters four five and sex of that guide I believe that's right. To read by word, just use the Windows command holding down control and pressing right and left arrow keys. To read by line, just press down arrow for next line, up arrow for previous line, and hold down the nvda key and press up arrow to read current line. I believe that's right for current line. Basically, it's just using Windows commands for reading by character word and line like any other screen reader to get you started. You must use the regular arrow keys for nvda. If you use the number pad, you will be navigating with something called the review cursor which gets into more detail. So, use the normal arrow keys!
