Re: Is NVDA the best free screenreader?

Lots and lots of stuff:

Third party synthesizers which can go 2 or 3 times faster than Sapi.

The ability to configure formatting options one-by-one rather than just saying "tell me all of them".

Configuration profiles.

Scripting.

For programmers, indentation indication.

Tons and tons of customization of things like punctuation and speech replacements.

Often, much lower latency.

better browsing support.

Better terminal support by far.  As in Narrator works so poorly with it that you can't even use Nano.

I could probably find more, if I put my mind to it.  Narrator is catching up, and in theory I could live with Narrator if I really had to, but Microsoft takes like 1-2 years to do anything much to it at all so if you want quick fixes or improvements, good third party ecosystem, etc etc etc you kinda have to go NVDA.  Admittedly the one place narrator might be better hands down is Microsoft Office but I've never evaluated that, and NVDA is improving there as well using the UIA implementation that was added for narrator, so ymmv.
