Hello, Hope this message finds you all well. I have a Mac and I have used it for several years now. I have not used a Windows PC since 2010, so, I have no idea about the recent advancements of the jaws screen reader Because the last operating system within the windows platforms was either windows XP or Vista if I recall well enough. After graduating college, I decided to try out a Mac because one of my friends had one and she was showing me all of the cool accessibility features on the Apple max. Before purchasing, I went to take some classes at the Apple store and the staff was nice enough to show me how to use voiceover. After I purchased my first Mac laptop, I never looked back because the accessibility features were great. In my opinion, they were better than the Jaws Screen reader I used to use back then. My windows laptop was on its last leg anyway, so that was the main reason why I purchased it at the time. Also, buying a Mac is cost-effective because you do not have to spend additional money on making your product more accessible. Not many blind people are able to afford paying a premium price to get a screen reader that is essential for work or school, unless an organization is willing to help with the cost associated Which also means going through the process of sending in paperwork to prove that you are either in school, looking for a job or at work in some cases. Best, Priscilla
