[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: Amazon Menus:

[Baracco, Andrew W]

Ever since I started working with Windows based PC's, I have been
advised that it is best to have access to at least two screen readers,
because each has its strengths and weaknesses regarding different
programs. In fact today this advice could be expanded to include the use
of multiple web browsers. In the past this was difficult to achieve
because of the high cost of screen readers, but that has changed now. If
you have MS Office, you can get Window Eyes for free. You can also get
NVDA for free, so now you can have two screen readers and not have it
cost anything at all.

Unfortunately there are websites and other programs rendered more
accessible with jaws, so, and I'm not alone, many of us have found that
two screen readers makes for more flexibility.

I think he's saying that the Amazon web site works with System Access
but not with JAWS, and he resents the fact that he needs two use two
different screen readers. He doesn't say why he needs JAWS though and
why he can't just do everything with System Access.
