Re: need windows eyes
One of my favorite features of NVDA is it's AddOns. I don't know of any other screen reader that has complete plugin functionality like NVDA. And there really are some impressive ones. Within weeks of JFW's OCR feature, NVDA already had an AddOn for it. And of course, the one I use most often, the InstantTranslate AddOn. I'm sure there are others I would find useful, but since NVDA isn't my primary screen reader I haven't really looked into them much yet. I can definitely say I'm very impressed though, especially for a free product.
I use Jaws as my primary reader, and I only have two real problems with it, Freedom Scientific support and all that crap aside because I really don't care about or use any of that. I have the Firefox crashing problem, and I have a problem where if I load JFW up after I've loaded a page in Internet Explorer, it crashes about 90% of the time. Oddly enough it doesn't completely close the program, jus t causes a webpage error that claims one of the IE addons caused the error, and I can return to the exact page of the website I was on, so *shrug* at that one. Other than that I've had no real problems with Jaws, it works with pretty much all applications I need it to, and even works on my netbook.
I tried Window Eyes 6.1 and wasn't that impressed. It worked with far less applications than Jaws, had a cursor navigation system I really didn't like and could only speak at a certain rate for elloquence. I've heard they've fixed a lot of those problems in 7.0 and up, but I haven't tried them and probably never will, since I won't pay for something I don't intend to use.
I think I had a demo copy of Hal on my system at one point, but I never really used it, so I have no idea how that one works at all.
