[nfbcs] Window-Eyes and terminal emulation

[Wunder, Gary]

When you get some answers to your questions, you might use trial
versions before making the leap. I believe WindowEyes offers one as well
as System Access. There is a learning curve which will make evaluation a
bit harder than one would like, but my guess is that, after you do some
evaluating, you find yourself maintaining two screen reading programs.
You might also look at some of the free offerings - they are better than
their price implies - NVDA is pretty darned good.

Subject: [nfbcs] Window-Eyes and terminal emulation

I'm vaguely considering switching from Jaws to Window-Eyes.  I keep
hearing grumblings about Jaws 10, and I'm not keen to pay megabucks to
"upgrade" to something problematic.
Does Window-Eyes work well with 3270 terminal emulation? Does it require
an extra license, with of course an extra cost, to do Remote Desktop?
Has anyone used it with BMC Remedy, and how does it do?  Remedy is a
very mouse-oriented application, and requires a lot of use of the Jaws
simulated-mouse-clicks.
Is anyone using another screenreader than JFW or WE that does the above
things well?  I tried Hal from Dolphin ages back, but couldn't make it
work, back then.
TIA.
Tracy
