Same here, I was a JAWS user for years until I played with the
demonstration copy of Window-Eyes 7.5. That did it for me. In the past I
could never quite understand how to make settings global. Now I can
thanks to the new user interface in 7.5.

I finally did with the release of version 7, and the astounding
scripting platform that was added on to what many people thought was
already the better screen reader (and certainly from my own experience
had the better support).
Once I found that scripting put the power to deal with many problems
back into your hands, I made the switch; and also found mailing lists
where company owners, developers, and support personnel all participated
to answer questions; well for me it was a completely different experience.
And finally, there were payment options for those not having a big
institution making the purchase for you; options which let an individual
afford to purchase a screen reader.
Yes, it's a great screen reader, but it's also much more than that;
there are a lot of ways to measure a product, and GW comes up on top for
all of them. It helps to remember all of these when we're trying to
convince someone else to give it a try: it's not only just about whose
product is more stable.

Hi,
I was a Jaws user for several years before I was introduced to
Window eyes by a friend. Since that time I have been a Win Eyes
user. It is much more stable that the other. And we tend to
sometimes forget that when there is a problem with something.
All-in-all it’s a pretty damn goood screen reader

Many thanks indeed bro, I'm honoured. I love window-eyes as I had an
earlier version but didn't say it yet on the list. I sure am excited
to get the newest version.

Hi Tony!
Nice to be writing you! I want to give it another go on the list
and want everybody to forgive and forget. I have changed
completely now and all is going so flawlessly. I'd love to be
your friend.

Good morning to all,
If when a real question is ask we got as fervent responses
as we do when someone joins that we don’t like or have had
problems with in the past. Most of our access problems could
be addressed in a short time.
If this guy is going to be a problem it will show very soon.
As for me I want to know why Win eyes is still not working
well with WLM. After a full year I am still not able to read
what I have written when replying to a message. WHY?
I’ve sent screen shots done the Win eyes diagnostics and
still haven’t gotten an answer to my problem.
I don’t know what email program GW is using but since
Windows is the OS doesn’t it make sense to support the
Microsoft email program completely?
Tony
