The IRS refused to let my husband use window eyes, even though he was more
familiar with it, and he could have done his job better. Pam.

This is very incorrect. I've worked for more than one employer both public
and private who allowed me to request the screen reader I wanted. This
includes three different U.S. Federal Government agencies who I've worked
for or worked under a contractor. I was able to request Window-Eyes for a
couple of different nonprofits and otherwise. Generally, all that you need
to do is produce an accurate, written justification for a Screen reader
other than JAWS or otherwise. Window-Eyes is on the GSA Schedule and is
also on the DOD Cap Program list.
As for NVDA, it will likely never be adopted by a public entity in the U.S.
or private company or nonprofit. This is because of the nature of its
open-source code which is vulnerable to threats of hacks and such to it's
source code.
As for Narrator, the proof is already there that it is not as robust as a
fully developed Screen Reader. It likely never will. It could certainly
improve and I am pleased that Microsoft is once again expressing interest in
improvement as I find it still rather frustrating to setup a computer which
has no Screen Reader installed or to recover from hangs.

I know and have used Window-Eyes when I was using a Windows computer, and it
was good. When I do use a Windows computer, it is NVDA all the way. Trouble
is, most institutions who cater for the blind and visually impaired have
Windows computers with either JAWS or Supernova installed, nothing else.

It saddens me that there are so many people, especially here in the
UK, who don't know about Window-eyes' existence.
I have used this screenreader right from the start, in fact when it
was called Vocal-eyes and used to provide access to DOS - this must be
providing some clues to my age!
But I've never regretted my choice.
