[blindlaw] Windows Eyes or JAWS?

[Susan Kelly]

I use both, depending on what device I am using, and also prefer VoiceOver.  That said, most legal firms, especially in my home state, are totally invested in Windows / Microsoft type computers.  For that, JAWS is likely the best.

If you are not set on a Windows computer, all Apple computers come with a built-in screen reader called voiceover. I have found that voiceover is much easier to learn, at least it was for me. It seems to be more intuitive than JAWS. In high school I was taught how to use JAWS but it didn't really stick and I was very slow and limited with it. I think it really is a person by person basis though. I found quite a few YouTube videos that were helpful when deciding whether or not to switch from jaws to voice over.
