A thought has just occurred to me and that is that Supernova has within it
two programmes combined in one. The Magnification is in a single programme
from Dolphin and this is called, if I remember correctly Lunar. Why not get
Lunar and Window Eyes together rather than Supernova as the price of both
Supernova and Window Eyes would be clearly very high.

I believe you can also purchase eloquence speech which is similar to that available with Window eyes and JAWS from Dolphin.
While people may want both screenreaders on their PC for experimental purposes, maybe having one in demo form, it would be expensive to have supernova just doing magnification and Window-eyes for speech.
The general consensus, and not everyone agrees by any stretch, seems to be
that Supernova is not quite as good, particularly on the internet, as JAWS
or Window-eyes for speech but the magnification facilities are some of the
best available. Even if you take this view, the screenreading facilities of
supernova ought to be ample for someone with some vision.
Occasionally I come across people who insist on using a screen magnifier
with 15 or 20 times magnification. It is always tempting to do this though
generally it is none productive as there is too little text on the screen
and a hell of a lot of scrolling is required. Ideally the user should rely
wholely on speech when such large amounts of magnification are required
though this is easier said than done, particularly when the user is a home
user and does not have access to the required training.

Hi. Has your friend tried the two human like voices within supernova Carol
and Alan.
I use supernova speech and magnification in an emergency.
I find Supernova speech very easy to understand.

this should work though it is extremely inefficient and expensive to keep
both products up to date. Is Supernova really that bad that your friend
can't cope with it? what does your friend find particularly bad about it,
given that we are talking about someone who can use print.
Cheers

Hi all, I was just wondering whether a friend of mine could use Window-Eyes as her speech system and Supernova for her magnification? My friend is willing to try out WE 5.5, but was wondering whether they're would be compatibility issues when using the two products together. Thanks, and I look forward to hear from you. My friend, by the way, is Jenny Langley. -- Christopher Hallsworth chrishallsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
