To each their own. If I cannot do basic settings and use basic programs
in a weekend my style and the program are not compatible. I have used
several programs in the past 20 plus years in DOS and Windows, only one
can I say I would never have bought and that was Artic WinVision. I
won't bore you with the details, but with Jaws, ASAW, ASAP, Vert and
others I was able to do basic operations almost immediately, and able to
work in a word processing program and send e-mail within the first demo
session, or within 30-40 minutes.
I could send e-mail with WE, but, I could not seem to configure it to my
liking, the keyboard response was slow, the space thing drove me crazy
and I guess I am so used to Eloquence now that DEC Talk also drove me a
bit crazy.
For me, at this point Jaws is the best fit, not to say that maybe some
day something else will be better. I was a heavy user of ASAW
initially, but when it did not support Word and when it started going
down the tubes I switched, so switching isn't out of the question, but
not at this time.

rose not going to go into how to use window eyes, after all this is not
the
right place.
can say that your comments clearly indicate how little you no about win
eyes.
especially the comment its harder to adjust than jfw is.
jfw scripting language is much harder to learn and make adjustments to
than a screen reader designed around windows and triggers.
its also the reason i prefer jfw.
scripting allows the ability to set up multi parameters to trigger
speech,
thus giving one the exact info they need and no extra verbage.
personally i would like a screen reader that does both.
if jfw had a complete set of window and trigger options for every day
folks
to make adjustments it would be the ultimant.
unfortunately neither does.
jfw has some limittted ability to read a frame, but very limitted.
plus its not tied to the scripting so that one can use both together.
i was hoping that with the release of 32 bit windows and apts running in
extended memory with no memory limitations like dos had that
a screen reader would combine the 2.
still waiting on that one.
bill
p s for me if i have to choose between the two options i would pick
scripting.
still the ease of windows and triggers is some thing i miss from my dos
days.
