Kelley, <br />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! <br /><br />Kristen J.
