[Pibe-division] screen readers?

[Kristen J Sims]

Kelley, 
Personally I really like JAWS. Of course I am the more familiar with JAWS than with the others. My students even those with very little interest in technology can use at least the basic functions of Windows with it. I have tried the Window Eyes demo and it is good but since I didn't have the full version I could not play with the voices as much. When in doubt... ask a blind guy!

Colleagues,
Long time subscriber, first time posting. Wanted brief opinions on recommended screen readers for the following types of students:
3rd grader high interest technology
10th grader moderate/low interest in technology

I've looked into programs from Dolphin, JAWS, and Window Eyes. Thank you in advance for your contributions and thoughts.
