Hi Eleanor
Once you have downloaded the portable version to a USB drive you can run it
from any PC just insert the drive and open it go to the NVDA link and hit
enter and you have audio on the PC, this works very well with Windows 7 as
the narrator voice is very good but it may not work so well with older
versions of windows and you may get a fairly hard to listen to voice. But
have a look at the links below for more info.
