After listening to that I am suddenly glad to use VoiceOver.

On the mac I find VO is way more trouble than it's worth

Windows has two problems for me: the first is that its shortcut keys don't seem to make sense, unlike VoiceOver's, which makes them harder to remember; the second is that I don't know how to browse reddit on it because the screen-reader doesn't read element by element. For example: I know that in order to find reddit posts one presses B to find the next button followed by K to find the next link (this is equivalent to what I do in VoiceOver), but I have no idea how to read comments on Windows without asking the screen-reader to read everything starting from the up/downvote buttons. I find VoiceOver to be superior at least on the web, and I use the web a lot.

I just tell NVDA to read the next paragraph when I get to the buttons, or, I jump to the edit box and work my way down. if I am feeling lazy, I just hit CTRL down arrow to jump
