I'm seriously considering dropping Jaws with any future upgrades. Still, might go for a Mac next time.

It has become buggy in that area in my view, whereas with the additional Window-Eyes apps from App Central, Office is great.

A thing also to consider is which applications you need or want to work with. Traditionally, jaws works better with Microsoft Office applications but window Eyes has definitely gained on the big fish in the last several versions. I would recommend getting a demo of both screenreaders and see which one works better for your purposes. Finally, if this is for personal use especially, also give nvda a try if it meets your needs. hth Doris At 09:58 AM 10/24/2012 +0100, you wrote: >Hi all, >I have mentioned before that the IT guy at work gives me a very very >hard time. >I am starting to believe that it is Jaws he hates not me or the blind >in general. >Yesterday he showed me WindowEyes. >I have two specific questions: >1. >Is WindowEyes easy to learn? >2 how does it compare with Jaws? >Niamh ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
