Hi Kurt et al:
What is the current version of JAWS, where are the scripts and is there an 
expert in the field I can contact about accessibility of Medical 
Transcription, Coding etc.l.. with JAWS and specific software like Windows 
Word?
Also, I have used WindowEyes for several years.  Is anyone using WindowEyes 
for Transcription or Coding or Billing or whatever area in HIM?
Thanks:
Rick Farmington cMich. USA
