Hi Graham
I am a hal user, never used jaws.
I use web ie because it is a lot easier for navigating web
pages than ie7 or 6. I like web ie because there are times
when I cannot activate a link when I press on it. With web
ie I can often do this and also web ie gives me access to
the text that is often hidden among the rest of the stuff on
a web page. I actually find it a lot easier to use web ie to
sing up for stuff than ie7.
It may suit a lot of people but each to their own.
Regards
Adrien

Hi Chris.
I am generally a JAWS user but thought I'd give thunder a
look. My initial
thoughts ar that it seems a little unstable but I am
prepared to give it
more of a go.
As far as Webbie is concerned, it looks functional on a
basic level.
Overall, I am most impressed by the open source Non Visual
Desktop program
which, while in early stages of development, seems well
featured and easy to
use. It works with internet explorer and is also said to
wwork particularly
well with firefox.
regards
graham

Graham, in my view, both Thunder and related programmes
are crap (sorry
for the language), as you can't do much with either
programmes, unlike,
say, JAWS and Mozilla Firefox. Just my thoughts, hope you
enjoy both
Thunder and Webbie.

Hi all.
I am currently trying out thunder screenreader, mainly
because I have
recently got hold of a laptop and can use it to test
programs without
risking damage to my main PC. This has lead me to
downloading Webbie for
webg browsing.
I have been using other parts of the webbie sweet such as
BBC listen
again
and the bbc radio player for some time.
As I understand it, you can use Webbie to move from form
to form on a
page
and to move between what is referred to as "headlines".
Is this supposed
to
be the same thing as moving to the next or previous HTML
header?
Also, there does not appear to be a way of moving between
frames. This
seems particularly problematic when using shopping sites
such as
Sainsburys
and tesco which require frames. Yes I know there is the
Tesco Access
site
but I choose not to use this.
I know Webbie is quite a basic browsing program, but I
just wanted to
check
I had a good idea of its functionality.
