Hi Peter.

Where do you get this £281 price from?

Hi Chris,
I would download Window Eyes and install it on my Jaws
active computer. But
the thing is, though neither company will admit it, A window
Eyes computer
won't work well if it detects jaws and a jaws computer won't
work well if it
detects Window Eyes. Ask yourself, why after all this time
won't the
Zoomtext focus follow the Jaws cursor? Answer? Jaws is
produced not to
follow Zoomtext. It is produced to follow the Magic focus.
In short, Its all
about money and the blind guy... Well ... Tough. If you have
Jaws on your
computer you will not be able to install window eyes easily.
You will
probably have to consult the window eyes team to get it
working properly.
This is part and parcel of the whole program of difficulties
when you are
offered to download one or other of the three leading access
softwares.
Jaws, Window Eyes and Zoomtext. If you are a jaws user,
download Window Eyes
and see what happens. Ditto if you are a Window Eyes user
and you download
Jaws. I'll guarantee you will need to consult the support
team or re-format
your computer. I've just been asked to pay 281 pounds for an
upgrade from
Jaws 7.1 to Jaws 9.0 and I think this is a bit steep. I've
just paid $400 to
go from XP Home Canadian to Xp Pro Uk and then over 100
pounds to go from
Jaws 6x to 7.1 which didn't work. Now only a few months
later they want 280
pounds to go from 7.1 through 8.0 wich was broken but
Freedom scientific
refused to fix, to 9.0 which folks are telling me is a
blasted waste of
time? How long are we just going to sit on our swivel chairs
and put up with
this crap. A simple upgrade from Jaws 7.1 to 9.0 at 281
pounds is almost
half the price of Window Eyes which I've heard is catching
up! Sure I can
even torrent a pirated copy of Jaws 8.0 on the pirate bay,
but I'm not sure
its worth the bother.

Peter
