@darrell73 That is interesting. I heard that in Europe and US JAWS license is provided for work places and for students. Are you simply used to JAWS or there are specific cases where NVDA doesn't really work in software you use? Great that NVDA works for you!

@Sevapopov @darrell73 I wouldn't say it's provided, because it's not given for free except for a few countries, including Hungary. Here our government supports blind people by providing free licenses to those who apply for it with a hungarian ID. But at work I suppose you have to use either your own license, or the company buys it for you. The problem is that a lot of european companies disallow using NVDA so those who aren't used to Jaws, have to suffer.

@destranis @Sevapopov How do these European companies justify disallowing #NVDA while still using open-source browsing engines?

@darrell73 @Sevapopov You know, that's a valid question. I have no idea. The only thing I know is that for example here in Hungary you can't really work using NVDA, because they generally consider open source programs harmful.

@destranis @Sevapopov Fascinating, so how do they handle open-source web browsers like Chrome and Firefox? Do they ban virtually all web browsers too?

@darrell73 @Sevapopov You are simply not allowed to install anything else. You aren't the administrator of the laptop you get for work and you can't work on your own computer because they fire you. They install aproved browsers for you if they even install any and you aren't stuck with Edge. So literally they set up the laptop for you and even if you wanted to use open source browsers, you can't do it.

@destranis @darrell73 @Sevapopov It sounds like your employer is simply controlling over what software you can use - and that itself is not uncommon anywhere in the world - In almost all cases, that of itself is not anti-open source, rather it is done in the interest of security

@NVAccess @destranis @darrell73 @Sevapopov Any US company with HIPPA and other tight restrictions refuse to use any open source software. :( I can't speak to other countries though.
