Good heavens, no! One of the best alternatives I have found is System Access. It costs a great deal less than jaws and consequently isn't quite as capable but it will be able to help you perform all or most of the essential functions. One of the good things about System Access is that you can purchase a version which can be downloaded onto a thumb drive. In that way, all you have to do is to plug in the drive and System Access To Go will work quite well. I believe that Jaws also has that capability but I do understand about cost limitations. Good luck on your job hunt.

One of the hurtles I will have to get past is needing a screen reading program for the computer. They are running windows 7. I know that JAWS does a wonderful job. However, it is a non-profit place and they don't have that type of money. So, I am wondering what alternatives I can offer them? Is narrator sufficient for MS Word ? God bless, Mark God Loves you!
