• hi. I have used jaws since I was a baby. but I love nvda for the addons.

• i'm an NVDA expert

• Narrator, NVDA

• Well, I'd consider myself an expert in NVDA. I used it since 2011.1 and the switch from Jaws was very easy. I even attempted the certified expert test, but in the end, I kind of stopped it, because, well, there were some general PC questions as well which I wasn't so sure about.

• 13 years

• When I got a computer I first used jaws. Which I found easy to use and enjoyable. As with NVDA it's not too bad, it works at least

• jaws. I most had a little amount of exp. nvda. I am a ucll user of it

• I have a good experience with NVDA and JAWS. But not so much with Narator.

I can use it fairly well.

How come you even waste my precious time with this question? I've been sticking with JAWS for over a decade, and this will never change. I know literally everything about the software and no one should ever try to convince me to switch to another screen reader!

No experience at all.

Tried it a few times, but you know, it has never become as popular as JAWS, and now it's not even supported and there's no point in using Window Eyes when there are so many other options.

Please type your comments (if any).

• bomberman29 yes, window eyes i have tried in the alanya center for invalids, alanya engelli merkezi, and it works well, but i am not using it

• So these are my results.

• Also, I think there are people who are using supernova (by dolphin), but it's not present in this list. (

• Well, as you say, there are polls with similar titles already, but I really love your detailled approach. This is really different from all the already existing ones.

• Very interesting and profissional surway

• I only use JAWS at work.

• kflid skdilf.ś lskdlłkdkję. 032988289108735267399.,/?!@@.

• I using jaws in school. ugh.

• Jaws used to be my go-to. After discovering NVDA I uninstalled the government piece of spyware and switched to NVDA fulltime.

• Strange survey in fact.
