Hi Pele
One of the things dearest to my heart, as many know, is Braille. And
because of the route FS have elected to take regarding the digital signing
of drivers - rightly or wrongly depending on your point of view - I can
no longer use my own PowerBraille display if I want to work with JAWS 11.
Having just purchased a Windows 7 laptop, I obviously need to run JAWS 11,
and there is no way around the display issue because I am not prepared,
and certainly can't afford, to purchase something that suits FS. I know
from what I've seen and heard that Window-Eyes supports Braille very well,
and this is just one of many incentives for me to move over. I don't
think I'll ever uninstall JAWS from my PC because it is something I will
use having forked out for it. But I'm prepared to give Window-Eyes a good
try, particularly with Braille in mind. As soon as I downloaded the demo
and chose a PowerBraille display, it went first go.
Time will tell.

Hi Jackie and Everyone
I am also someone who has gone over completely to Window-Eyes. I used
JAWS when I was at work as it had better support for MS Office at that
time but, as my husband preferred Window-Eyes, always used it at home.
Now I am no longer at work I find Window-Eyes works well with the programs
I run.
I have a few issues with Windows 7, but I think they are related to the
operating system rather than the screen reader.
Good luck, Jackie.
Pele
