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

Cheers

Hi Doris,

I would argue that JAWS doesn't work as well with Office any more.  It has
become buggy in that area in my view, whereas with the additional
Window-Eyes apps from App Central, Office is great.

All the best

Steve

Personally, I think which screenreader one uses is primarily a matter of
personal preference.

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.
