Good question. The only reason why I prefer Jaws over Window-Eyes is because of its responsiveness. May I add that in order to get your preferred voice such as eloquence / vocalizer, you have to pay an additional fee.
I would say, from a casual / medium user prospective it is certainly beneficial to avail this offer if you have a valid lisence for Office 2010 Home Addition or above, but from the heavy user's prospective, Window-Eyes still need to improve in terms of responsiveness. Features' wise I don't see much difference from a normal user prospective between these 2 screen readers. One thing which impresses me about GWMicro is the ability to avail tech support over phone. This is quite helpful in emergency situations. Freedomscientific no longer provides international tech support over phone. If the market of screen readers continues to function in this manner, then I don't see that day too far when allmost all the commercial screen readers offer the same set of features. It would be interesting to see how each company strategically places itself in the market for the future to come. The views expressed are personal. -- Amar Jain.
