[Cabs-talk] JAWS VS WindowEyes

[Joe Orozco]

GW Micro recently produced a script that lets you type the JAWS command, and
Window Eyes will tell you what the equivalent command is for Window Eyes.  I
forget the name of it, but it seems handy.  I've thought of also switching,
as I have a love/hate relationship with FS that these days leans more toward
hate.

Hello Sam,
	Welcome to the list. We welcome your questions about 
screen readers,
or anything else blindness related. 
	I used Window-Eyes several years ago, and found it to 
be a stable,
reliable screen reader. Also GW Micro's tech support blows that 
of Freedom
Scientific out of the water. JAWS is industry standard, 
however, by which I
mean it is the screen reader you will find on college campuses, 
work sites,
and in just about every other public place where screen readers can be
found. If you switch to Window-Eyes you will have a very good 
product, but
keep in practice with JAWS, you won't be able to get completely 
away from
it.
Hope this helps
Angela

Subject: [Cabs-talk] JAWS VS WindowEyes

Greetings everyone,

I'm new to this list so if this subject has been hashed out 
please forgive
me.

I am currently using JAWS, but I  was thinking about changing.  
I don't like
what I've been hearing about Freedom Scientific lately so I was 
wondering if
anyone can tell me how they like WindowEyes.
Especially if they used to use JAWS.

Thanks,
Sam
