[blindkid] Window Eyes vs. Jaws

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

I agree with David on this. Window Eyes is more basic and will get the
basic job done. However, being young and if she really wants to know that
she can tackle anything in the work world when she graduates, she needs to
go with JAWS. Most importantly is they are already working with Microsoft
and other companies to keep updated automatically, so just out of the box,
it does far more than Window Eyes. Very powerful --you can write scripts
for pretty much anything you need to do and command it to go and say what
you want it to say if you want to get even more technical. Time to switch
if she has big dreams--young minds pick up things VERY fast---as you
already know
