I'm not making the switch. I use WE, NVDA, and Narrator. I'm also
waiting to see what WE will do with the Creators edition.

WE is not dead yet. It still works great for me and they still
respond to a support question, although this is not as good as it used
to be.

Well, I guess I’ve fought it for as long as I can. I’ve refused for
several years to consider switching to a Mac, but with the apparent
demise of Window Eyes, and Jaws sucking as it always has, I’m going to
be making the switch. I’ve been a loyal WE user since 2004, but it
seems that it’s time to teach an old dog new tricks. lol. I can take
my I phone or my I pad mini and have no problem using programs like
Netflix, Slink, and other websites using Voice Over, that WE and Jaws
say hey can’t because the sites aren’t accessible. I think I’ll keep
one of my Windows PC’s with WE on it just so I can look back and think
of all the money I spent just to be left with my thumb up my nose.
When I think of the money I’ve spent maintaining a screen reader, and
now the built in screen reader with the IOS works great with all those
websites that were called by tech support for Jaws and window eyes
“inaccessible”.. I know I may catch some flack for this, but it’s the
truth none the less.I guess VFO thinks they’ve cornered the market on
Screen readers, but I refuse to do business with them, because of who
they are and who they are connected with. I started out with Windows
95 and JFW back in 1995, and I used Jaws up untill 2004 when a friend
of mine and myself started building a web site, he was a WE user and I
a Jaws user. I couldn’t do some of the thing with jaws and Freedom
Scientific’s tech support told me it was because the page builder I
was usin was “inaccessible”, but my buddy with Window eyes could do
it. I started using WE to work on the website and as I got used to it
I began using is more and more for other things. I found that WE
worked “out of the box” with more programs than Jaws did. So, in 2004
I became a Window eyes user. now I’m sad to say that the same type of
thing has happened, except this time is between Window eyes Windows
and Voice Over and Mac. I will be buying my first Mac in a couple of
months and telling WE and Windows goodby.
