Hello,
First, NVDA's object navigation may help you access things that arrows
are not reading. Second, if you use NVDA, DO NOT USE INTERNET
EXPLODER!!!!! Use either the latest nightly trunk of seamonkey or
firefox 3, as this will provide you with better results. I do not have a
problem with system access, but it is limited in features, and in the
program list that it supports, where as NVDA works with more programs
out of the box, the programs that I am using anyway. Also, it is not
very hard to compile a module for an app that is not accessible and make
it so, as NVDA is compiled with the python programming language, which
is very versatile.
Thanks

Subject: [Blind-Computing] NVDA VERSUS SYSTEM ACCESS TO GO, COMPARISON
I used the web site http://www.xmradio.com as a test and ran both screen
readers.
I tried to use NVDA first. On that web site you will need to choose "Full
Channel Line Up" to experience the same situation.
With Jaws and NVDA , the speech quit almost immediately. As I mentioned in
an earlier message, I believe that the problem exists in the fact that there
are Flash links all over this page. Jaws and NVDA both got jammed up by
these links and quit entirely. There was literally no way to get them back
and I tried everything.
Next, I took System Access To Go for a spin and what do you know, it worked!
For some reason, I'm still not sure why, SA read the links but did not get
hung up.
On our list is a member called Debbie. She mentioned a web site provided by
ABC, http://www.abc.com and I think that this site has the same problems as
the newly designed XM Radio page does.
CONCLUSION: For some limited purposes, System Access, although it's a very
limited tool, will work where Jaws and NVDA do not.
I thought some of the people here might find this interesting.
