Listers,
I had my hands on Jaws for something like an hour or so, that many years
ago, it would not even be considered useful for today's computer
activity. Name it a simple way to get a worksheet done. So, forgive me
if I do not know exactly what is wrong with Jaws, to many of you.

Hi Jim. I totally agree with you. Let's just focus on the functionality of
Window-Eyes. You are right that all it does is create fear, and uncertainty
when this topic is discussed.

Hi there FOLKS!
I recently enquired about purchasing an SMA for W.E. At this time they
are still selling them. I don't believe they could or would sell

Hi Peter. Speaking of what you said about Window-Eyes being dead, I have
contacted our local dealer who sells both JAWS and Window-Eyes to discuss
the situation of what was happening and he was shocked, and he told me that

Hi all,
When the founders and main staff of an organization leave, the business dies a
quick death. There is absolutely no reason why f v o needs to or wants to
support a product that is given away for free.
I recommend all of us check out the Narrator on Windows 10 and NVDA as an
alternative
Andre,
I've only taken a cursory glance at this so take it for what it's worth.
There is very basic mouse support within NVDA. But there are a couple
mouse add-ons available. One is vMouse. But on the home page it says it
supports Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1. So I don't know if it will work

Although the speculations as to whether Window-Eyes will still be around
is a bit hasty, I still encourage the use of more than one screen reader
in general. First of all, you will benefit from the functionality of
each reader, many times giving you better tools to perform the job you
want, the
I'm not sure I understand why some here feel this urgent need to switch
to another screen reader at this moment.

If WE does go away, I'll keep using my present version for as long as I can.It
should work for a long time unless a big change is made in windows.

Well, jaws was always way overpriced here, too. I'm surprised to know that
jaws and window eyes are the same price, now. Jaws used to be way over a
thousand dollars, and window eyes was closer to 700 dollars or so. Pam.

Well, another thing that had a hand in window bridge's going out of business
was that one of the brothers died. There was talk of starting it up again,
but that never happened. One thing I liked about window bridge is that it

I doubt that I will ever go over to Jaws but will stay sitting on the fence
for as long as I possibly can to see what solutions work for others who are
also reluctant to go over to the Shark!
