“NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA) is a free and open-source screen reader for the Windows
Operating System, enabling blind and vision impaired people to use their computers

the user to do most tasks they would need to. It is not as stable or as bug-free
as some of the commercial screen readers, but since December 2006 the creator of
NVDA has been able to use NVDA full-time as his primary screen reader, finally giving
up his original commercial product.”
