You could also do it the other way around: Use your limited sight without
Jaws but turn it on when you need it.

It is clear that Dorothy is struggling to do things visually. Thanks to the
many missing spaces, some sentences sound like a foreign language in
synthesised speech, but they probably look quite reasonable in large
characters on a big screen.
My advice to Dorothy would be to learn to work with speech and to rely on
her sight solely for things like tricky editing or reading foreign names or
mixed strings of letters and numbers. I'd absolutely hate not to have a
braille display, though these are just about the only jobs I would use it
for.
Stick at it Dorothy.

Tink,
an excellent post but might I suggest just one improvement. Since Dorothy
is having so much trouble writing emails it might be best for some one like
your self or others with similar experience of this problem to do tech
support by phone.

It's not what Operating system you use, it's how productive you are with it.
