Hi Niamh.
Well, as you may have seen, JTools is being discontinued so that is no
longer a consideration you have to worry about when choosing your access
tech. I'm mega pissed off about it actually as I use JTools in conjunction
with Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium and since the JTools product is no
longer being developed, I'll no longer have access to this immensely useful
and productive piece of dictation software. I've been sticking to Jaws 13
mainly for this reason, however now I know I cant upgrade to Jaws 14 even if
I wanted to, I'm seriously thinking of ditching JAWS together and have been
playing with NVDA extensively, though whether I can get NVDA to work with
Dragon or window-eyes for that matter is a different story.
All my best, Ibrahim XX.

Hi Ibrahim,
Firstly thank you for this piece of information.
I have been suffering horrows all week.
Windows 8 is now my work place's system and they installed Jaws 14 for me,
which doesn't run j-tools.
I re-installed jaws 13.0.638 to run J-Tools and have been in hell.
WindowEyes here I come.
Reason my I.T guy and I emailed FS gave us very misleading information.
Niamh

Jaws 13 doesn't work with windows 8, I'm not surprised you've been having
roblems. Windows 8 is awful I'd agree, however its going to be ten times
worse for you if you keep messing about with the access tech, especially
if it has been installed by a technician who presumably knows what is
compatible with what. Have you had a propper assessment of your
technology needs by a certified professional? Your employer should see to
it that the technology not only meets your needs, but if upgrading is
necessary that you have full and propper training and an upgrade plan
drawn up to meet your specific needs as it will take you longer to adapt
to the new system.
All the best and good luck, Ibrahim.
