I have had the same experience with WinZoom.  I much prefer to use Text
Westlaw, even if it is overly basic at times.

I think which screen reader you are using is important. I use ZoomText
and
both Lexis and WestLaw are difficult to use. However, WestLaw has a text
only site and ZoomText works fine in an environment where there is only
text. As a Law student I have access to both and I always use WestLaw.

Cheers,
Dee Jones

Blindlaw listers:

Has anyone on this list had recent experience comparing the
accessibility or
usability of Lexis versus Westlaw with a screen reader ?

If one were choosing today, what legal research system should one select
for
its accessibility?
