Hi again --
Of course, way back when, FS and Microsoft also had an agreement for jaws
and windows development, and there still were ongoing bugs. Software is
software. Maybe WE will do better. I like some of the features of jaws and
it has been my main screen reader for 15 years, so changing to WE is a
little work. Sigh.

HI Joyce.
window eyes is not made by the same company that makes windows. It’s just
that they have recently formed a partnership so people can get window
eyes. Having said that, it should work fine with windows.
Blessings!
