I think NVDA is the only one then. I just called a jaws user here in town to 
ask about his experience and he reported that jaws was unable to read any text 
embedded inside flash graphics and he only had minimal access to the player 
controls. still, it is worth investigating to see if jaws can do some of the 
same stuff. I may have to set up vmware fusion here and install windows and see 
what it can do.
