[Blindtlk] Learning Jaws

Mon Mar 18 07:14:52 UTC 2013

I don't know.  From what I saw on the list, the feds are saying that you
have to use JAWS.  I have met people who used   both and switched up to fit
the situation.

Justin,

    What is Window-Eyes good at in federal employment? I know that
Window-Eyes proclaims I-Tunes being recommended by Apple and the new
agreement with a science company for instruments and all. However, these
neither are for my professional endeavors nor in my view ready for primetime
on the science portion either.

just curious,
Peter
