Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Magic

[Merv Keck]

I personally use both Magic & Jaws together. I started using Magic when my 
sight was good enough that I only needed 4X magnification and no Jaws but 
became aware of Jaws both because my wife used it and then because as a 
trainer at a position I held back in 2004 they asked me if I would train a 
Jaws user to do the job in which no blind individual had ever done before. I 
taught myself Jaws 4.5 or whatever that version was called back then that 
they had in another part of the building because that was what their license 
was for and got a raise when the individual learned how to do the job and 
another raise when they decided they would keep her. I kept my Jaws skills 
honed even when the company closed that branch and I moved to another state. 
Eventually my sight dropped to the point that I moved Magic to 22X and my 
wife suggested that I add jaws to the mix. I actually have a full version of 
ZoomText laying around in a box somewhere that they sent me which I have no 
intentions of installing because Magic and Jaws work so well together. I 
still don't know why they sent it to me or how they even got my new address. 
I used ZoomText back in like 2003 before I was aware of Magic's existence 
but haven't used it since.
