Hi Graham

I have been running the beta version of ZT9.0 for the past couple of months and have found it to be not really that much more stable than ZT8.1 which is the current version. I have always been something of a fan of Zoom Text, but since trying this our I am really coming to the conclusion that if I want something along these lines it was going to have to be Supernova. This idea of Brian's certainly sounds hopeful and, as I have a demo version of WE on the way to me, I will be able to let you know how Window Eyes and Zoom Text coexist over the next few days.

They certainly should work together in theory.

Tony

Hi brian and all.

I certainly agree with you in terms of utilising skills but I would want to
make sure first that Zoomtext and Window-eyes will definitely work together.
I must say my confidence in Zoomtext was a bit shaken after all the problems
people seemed to have with version 8. is version 9 considered to be more
stable? I agree that buying Window-eyes represents a more cost effective
solution and, while the help available is not as intuitive as JAWS, it is
certainly better than the frankly lamentable help offered by Supernova.


When I say this I am not trying to deliberately do any screenreaders downbut
merely give my impressions concerning what is quite a tricky decision.
Brian, have you much experience of the latest version of zoomtext,
particularly working with Window-eyes on the system as well? I know that
DCM should allow them to work but I also fully realise that things are not
always as straight forward as they may seem.


Cheers

Graham

Tony,

In this specific situation, using Supernova does not make a lot of sense to
me. You are already used to using Zoomtext for magnification, so why not
utilise the skills you already have and use Window-Eyes in conjunction with
it? In other words, just purchase Window-Eyes, and switch off the Zoomtext
speech. You can then use the speech from Window-Eyes to do the reading of
the e-mail or other applications, and use the magnification from Zoomtext as
and when you want it.


In terms of reading e-mail with Outlook Express, this will be very easy to
do with Window-Eyes. W E uses Microsoft Active Accessibility to read the
text from Outlook Express, so the accuracy is going to be very high indeed.

Hi Tony,
I have been using Window-Eyes with Outlook Express for the last five years
and have had no trouble with it at all. If you want to write to me off
list with specific questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them for you.
