I also think that installing several screen readers on the same PC is a good
idea. But, actually, there is no way to switch from one to the other.

And also mine. I have to use it very often and struggle hard to work with
it. In particular, I can't find any way to access the ressource editor, (the
piece of software you have to use to design your application screens).

Sometimes, they would not only like but they hardly need. I said "they"
instead of "I" because, by reading this list, I suspect I'm not the only
one.

And also Visual J++ for Java addicts.
My second choice go to IBM ViaVoice SDK and all those softwares which open
some sorts of "dynamic frames" which a sighted person can close,
redimension, minimize or maximize just like any real window. A more common
situation is "My Computer", (this well-known program which sits on top left
corner of usual desktops). In this program, jaws allows you to change the
size of the whole window but in this window, there are frames which also can
be enlarged or reduced. For instance, a sighted person can enlarge the
leftmost frame of the window if the filenames are not fully displayed. With
jaws, you cannot. Regards, Chris
