[Trainer-talk] Dolphin guide verses CDesk

[Julie Adkins]

Major improvements have been made to Guide 8, especially to internet
navigation.  Dolphin (in the UK) gave me sort of private showing of it.  I
don't know when EVAS will be releasing it.  I would have thought surely this
month.  Also, to get a big mouse pointer, I have been combining Guide with
Zoomtext Express (which only costs $50).  Anyhow, I would recommend waiting
until you can get a demo of Guide 8 to make your comparison.

Good morning all,
I have a consumer who needs something in the family of these two products.
However, in the past I've not had the greatest success with guide nor have I
appreciated the support experience.  Does anyone have a feeling one way or
another regarding these two packages?  I note that the CDesk with speech
recognition is nearly 1000 dollars more than the base package. Are they
using dragon or some sort of software, or are they using the recognition
built in to windows 7 and 8?
 Any help here would be appreciated greatly!
