There is one point here that is sometimes missed. In regard to VoiceOver having too many key strokes or the like, this, from my experience with Window Bridge, JAWS, Window-Eyes and VoiceOver, is not exactly true. Especially when one takes advantage of the numpad commander or the VO Keys lock, it cuts down tremendously on the number of keys needed for common tasks. As for JFW being the best, sorry, but that hasn't been the case since FS took them over. It's why I jumped to Window-Eyes and will never look at JAWS again. And not having to deal with screen reader crashes, viruses, spam and blue screens of death is why I have relegated my Windows box for infrequent use.

Shouldn’t put down JAWS. It has been good to you for the most part over the last 12 years or more. It isn’t perfect, but it is the best screen reader on the market no matter what platform you are comparing it too. I would argue that it has less keystrokes then VO in order to navigate the screen and the start menus.

Ugh! I just set up the account from my PC and it took less than five minutes! The only reason I tried to do it from my phone in the first place, was b/c I figured it’d be a pain doing it with JAWS. *exasperated sigh!* Well, I guess I should at least be glad there was a way to do it.

Thanks, all,
Donna
