J-SAY is brilliant in that it does what it is supposed to do and gets
out of the way.
It combines the functionality of JAWS with the functionality of Dragon
Naturally Speaking.
The training tutorial is simple; no sighted assistance is necessary; and
the result is fantastic.
I have full use of my hands, so I do not use voice for everything --
mostly dictation of text.
Within MS Word, however, it is fairly comprehensive in terms of
functionality.
If you have no sight and no (or only limited) use of your hands,
Jawbones may still be your best choice.

Mr. Marquette,
I have heard of J-say, but not used it. I have used Jawbone and have not
had the best luck. Can you tell more about how J-say interfaces with
Jaws and maybe compare it to Jawbone? For instance, does J-say repeat
dictation through Jaws?
Thanks for any help,
Carl

I used J-SAY, a relatively inexpensive third-party package with Dragon
Naturally Speaking. Without the need for sighted assistance, I set-up
and trained Dragon. I use it fairly effectively now. I am using JAWS
4.51. I am waiting for FS to come out with 5.1 and, it is hoped, fix the
bugs in 5.0.

Bill,
On my IBM desk top computer I run Dragon and Jaws.
When I initially was setting it up I bought a third software application
titled, "Jaws Bones."
However, after allot of trying to get the nightmare running, I removed
the Jaw Bones and had a sighted person work with me using intercom
headphones and such and after many many many hours of hard work, got
Dragon and Jaws working together.
The third program Jaw Bones is a costly program and likely a good one,
but I like things to work well and fast; So I did not want to put the
time into that third software application.
If you are going to run Dragon, let me suggest you use Dragon Pro with
Jaws 4.5.
I put Jaws 5 on that machine and had to un install it.
Lastly, let me say if you want the setup of Dragon to go well, confess
to yourself that blind people from time to time need help of sighted
people.
Your life will be allot less stressful if you simply have eyes to help
and a set of two way headphone intercoms.
Regards,
L.D. Yooman
