[blindlaw] Window Eyes

[Rod Alcidonis]

Ladies and gents, it would serve a great deal if you read a person's post
first, before you invoke a nonsensical reply. This is more traffic than
what's needed. I have never told Ronza that Window Eyes is better than JAWS,
and this was not her original question of which one was better. All I told
her is that since she is already a user of JAWS, the fact that she will need
to put time aside to learn Window Eyes will slow her productivity. It was as
simple as that, and I do not wish to get into the debate of which screen
reader is the best! Thank you.

Rod Alcidonis.

Once again, I am not a lawyer, but I am a long-time Window-Eyes user and I
have used JFW some as well but am not 
an expert with it.  Be sure your employer has upgraded to the latest version
of Window-Eyes, that being version 5.5, 
because a great deal has been done to enhance support for Microsoft Office
products.  I think it probably is fair to say 
that the support of Microsoft Office products is as good and in some ways
better with Window-Eyes than JFW.  
Window-Eyes has always been strong with Internet Explorer as well.  I don't
think it is a foregone conclusion that 
productivity is better with JFW any longer.  There are going to be cases
when either program will be better than the 
other, and there are still times when JFW's scripting capabilities give it
an advantage.
