[gui-talk] not getting an answer on jaws list so trying here

[Les Kriegler]

Well, I don't see that as a major issue.  I think it's helpful to use both
methods, but the simplicity of Research-It is nice.  Sure, I can get the
scores other ways.  But it's nice to save time and effort whenever possible.
Research-It is a slick application, very innovative on Freedom Scientific's
part.  If the user knows it's specific to Jaws, then they should know to
access information via the internet.  It still comes down to learning
internet-based techniques first, and then introduce the specialized options,
then one has the best of both worlds.

I guess one concern I have with things like this, and I have heard of this
happening, a user may not be able to distinguish between what are screen
reader commands and what is available on all computers. Then, if someone
were to go to a computer that does not have jaws, they would have no idea
why the research it commands did not work. This is why, I believe users
should learn to do everything the main stream way when possible, this way it
works on all systems.
