Hi all,
Guide is not interested, nor does it care, on what screen reader is
running. I would however advise that you tell Guide not to place itself
at startup. This can be done during or after the installation process.
It is preferable to do it before. My other advice is to try and not use
a screen reader with Guide. Although it doesn't care so to speak, it can
cause Guide to stop working properly. For example when typing it may
emit your default system sound rather than the actual letters you are
typing. However if you unload a screen reader then load Guide then all
is well. Also, Guide is just not for beginners now; anyone can use it
due to the vast array of productivity tools it offers.
Hope this helps.

hi rosemary
the 30 day trial is free but the full program certainly is not
it is a 3 figure number as far as i am aware
i know people that use and love it to bits but i am informed that it is
mainly for total beginners
those that can use jaws really have no need to use guide but some people
that try guide out may prefer it to jaws or windoweyes
although any reading voice has to be better than dec talk that is used
on windoweyes
well with the exception of Microsoft Sam that is
i would like to try it myself but am hesitating as to what it can do re
my jaws
if after 30 days the program stops working then fine
delete it and decide to buy or reject
however if it takes over the settings for jaws i may not be able to get
jaws back as the default reader
perhaps someone can rectify this for me

Hi, everyone,
I just learned about a new screen reader on another list. It's called
guide. I'm tempted to download it and try it out but is it free
software like NVDA is? Just wondering.
