Hi Chris.
Actually, in a university environment, it is quite likely that Window-eyes
will work fine depending on what is being studdied. Window-eyes does now
have pretty good support for all Microsoft Office components, Internet
Explorer and Firefox I believe. You are really only likely to come unstuck
if you have to use bespoke databases with their own specially written
Windows front end or similar bespoke applications. Stats packages such as
SPSS are also unlikely to work well with Window-eyes and, as you say, it is
the flexibility of JAWS that make it the first choice in the work place for
this very reason.
It surprises me very much that window-eyes has not been given a scripting
language. If it had this kind of customisation available, I think Freedom
Scientific would have some long needed competition to deal with.
Regards
Graham.

Wow, a university using Window-Eyes! Anyway Window-Eyes includes a JAWS
layout, so that you can familiarize yourself with Window-Eyes using JAWS
keystrokes. Yes you will have to read the entire manual as they use very
different concepts in terms of saving configurations and stuff. Also,
Window-Eyes doesn't work with as many applications as JAWS does, because of
the lack of flexibility, such as scripting, in the product. Hope that helps,
and all the best in your studies.

Subject: [access-uk] Moving to Window Eyes
Hi guys,
I'm changing universities next year, but my problem is that the new
university to which I'm going uses Window Eyes, while at the old uni and at
home I've used JAWS all my life. My question is, is there some sort of guide
for JAWS users to quickly get going with WE, or do I really have to work
through the whole manual?
Thanks
Ari
