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
