My experience using Kurzweil and Jaws since late Autumn of 2003 is that if there is a crash when moving from one programme to the other it is usually due to something hard to define. I am sure that once upon a time you did have to"put Jaws to sleep" if only because I was supplied with a very much out of date tape tutorial with Version seven. A lady giving that Tutorial Olga Spinoza told you to put your screenreader to sleep first. I discovered this was not necessary .So perhaps it was with Version 6 but not from 7 upwards. I didn't have an ISP connection for the first year but once I did then crashed would occur periodically. I think I was told not too have toomany programmes running at the same time as that may cause it. I asked how many programmes are running and was told "in the background thousands of programmes are running as Windows is doing the housekeeping" I move from one Speech Engine to another and different voices for different types of scanning. Jane for one type and Kate for another Scansoft fast for everyday verbiage and Fine Engine for the tricky stuff. Incidentally scanning Carbon copies is pretty tricky but if you need it and persist you can do it or enough to get the substance and then decide on its future. . If to keep or dispose and it is in your hands not a decision anyone else has to do for you .
