NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access) is a free “screen reader” which enables a person who is blind and vision impaired people to access the computer. NVDA reads the text on the screen with a computerized voice using eSpeak. Like JAWS, the user can control what is read by moving the cursor to text with a mouse or the arrows or hotkeys on your keyboard. NVDA can also convert the text into braille using a braille display. It supports web browsers, email, social networking, and office programs such as word and excel. Currently, NAVA works with Microsoft Windows and can be downloaded to any PC or to a USB, which you can use with any PC computer. And best of all…NVDA is free! []
