[nfb-talk] Screen reader for new computer

[Michael D. Barber]

Bill:  You are most certainly  correct in your thinking.  Continue using
JAWS or another full-fledged screen reader.  Narrator is definitely bare
bones at best.

Good day, list.

I just wanted to make sure I have the correct idea as I'm about to decide on
a lap top system to replace my old and outdated desk top.

I've been familiar with Jaws on my current computer.  For some time now
though Windows has had the Narrator program built in to the operating
system, and I've heard of one or two blind people using that for speech
access.

I believe it's correct to say though that this is bare bones access and I
should still add Jaws to the system for truly tailored access in particular
as I am totally blind.

I wanted to double check my thought process before I make the final
decisions about my purchases.
