Hi Mike,
Never tried it to be honest, but I have seen people on the GW Micro lists
say they have it working.
All the best
Steve

Hi Ibrahim,
I haven't been able to get Window-Eyes to work very well with Dragon
Naturally Speaking; perhaps Steve Nutt would have some thoughts on this.
Hth,
Mike

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
