Tomorrow I'm going to be speaking to a small group of #blind students at a local high school. Apparently the teacher wants me to help motivate them to learn more about assistive technology, which they've fallen behind on; she specifically mentioned JAWS, but I've asked if I can talk about NVDA as well. It might help to have some ideas for fun things to do on a PC, things a high-schooler would enjoy, that require some mastery of a screen reader.

Follow-up question for #blind people who play text-based interactive fiction (a.k.a. text adventures): Which IF interpreters work best with Windows screen readers, particularly JAWS? Lectrote (github.com/erkyrath/lectrote) wasn't bad the last time I tried it with NVDA, though you have to be a somewhat advanced user to find the right download (on the GItHub releases page) and unzip it. Wondering if there are better options.

@matt I know that windfrauts was a good one back in the day.
