Hi Peter B,
For one thing, if you are using skype typing chat, the jaws scripts allow
text to be spoken back and forth, just like in MSN Messenger. Window Eyes
6.1 won't let you get this info, you'll have to use the WE cursor. I am
using Jaws 8. I also have Window Eyes 6.1, but prefer to use Jaws when I
intend to go online with Skype. There is a skype list put out by Ibby
Karbhari and it is very informative. You can get signed onto his list only
by emailing him directly at:
mailto:ibbyk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a request to join the SkypeWorldwide
discussion list.

What do the jaws scripts do that we can't do with window-eyes or NVDA?
