Hello all.
I will publicly state why I am refusing to use JAWS. It is Freedom Scientific's
attitude towards pricing and their license schemes. Some of us can't or won't
afford to buy JAWS, especially if the free one is just as good as JAWS. As for
the license scheme, the user is punished to license JAWS on up to three
machines. With the free and even other commercial screen readers one can
install on as many computers as they have so long as one machine is used at a
time, no questions asked. With JAWS, once all three authorizations have been
used they would then have to request FS for more keys. Eventually and I will
say eventually they will refuse flat and get paranoid about people sharing
authorization keys. I understand piracy and all that and I certainly don't
commit to any of that stuff however at the same time FS is just asking for
money and not caring about the customer. True there is a dongle option, but
even they can have their fair share of problems. Now for the technical,
I
do find the free one to be actually more stable and even works with more
applications than JAWS. You may find this shocking but this is true according
to my personal experience.
Sorry for the rant but you did suggest I state publicly my reasons. So there
you go.
Take care.
