[Blindtlk] Learning Jaws

[justin williams]

It is six of one, and half dozen of the other.  JAWS probably has a bigger
market, but still carries the same power as window eyes concerning
performance.  However, they each have their strengths and weaknesses.  I am
only a jaws user, but I did like window eyes when I I took a class with it.
One may be slightly better in certain situations, but it really depends.
Just use the best tool for the job at the time is my opinion.

Judy,


    Is the tech support with Freedomscientific as bad as the GW-Micro crowd
would have me believe? Seriously as I was being trained the assistive
technology instructor constantly complained about the tech support or the
hours of wait time that he had to endure doing his job for his clients that
is the real reason for picking Window-Eyes.


Thanks,
Peter
