You need a Windows screen reader. Window-Eyes is a good choice, and it will run if you have a Boot Camp Windows install or if you run as a Windows virtual machine.

I mean, come on; I mean with the way that window eyes and jaws are competing with each other even though that VFO has them both under their banner it is very sad that things have come to this parting of the markets i mean that since VFO has both jaws, window eyes, magic and zoomtext the markets aren't going to be very friendly in the long run; and as to a mac you don't have to worry about if your windows computer goes by the way side that you have to re-register your copy of windows 10 with a mac all Mac OS versions are free and that the built in screen reader "voiceover" is totally built into the OS. that makes a mac a very viable option and yes they are mor expensive then a window computer but they are built to last; also you can run windows on a mac as well, so you do have the best of both worlds. 3/19/2017 2:24 PM, Steve Nutt via Talk wrote: > Hi Reeva, > > I'm with you here.
