Good on you James.
I wish I had the courage to plunge in like that. However, I'd really love
to hear the truth about screen readers. Is, for example, JAWS a better
screen reader than WindowEyes? How about someone doing a study, or a
competition, so that we will finally accept that the grass is never greener
on the other side, and we have probably now accepted our preference, in
terms of screen readers! I've a copy of WindowEyes and I am a JAWS user,
but I've never bothered to sit down and get to know WindoEyes. I'm Smitten.
Best wishes.

Subject: [access-uk] Taking the plunge
Hi all
I've just received my Copy of Window-Eyes which was included with the
Brailliant Braille Display that I purchased. The last time I used
Window-eyes I was being taught by a typing teacher who was very nice, but
always yearning for the era of mechanical typewriters. We were battling
with Window Eyes in aroudn 1998, but came to the conclusion that it wasn't
very good, most probably because neither of us knew the first thing about
screen reading or computers. I've been using JAWS more or less since
then, but it will be interesting to see how the latest version of WE
performs on a better system now I know what I'm doing. If I'm reasonably
satisfied with WE then I think I'll just maintain that, and keep my
existing JAWS for applications where I need to do scripting etc. It will
be interesting to finally find out whether all the great things said about
Window Eyes on here are really true!
Seeyer later
