the problem with jaws on bootcamp is actually rather simple but its
something freedom scientific wont be touching so I'm told. Because of
DCM drivers and the display manager not being able to properly
support the drivers of the graphics cards on macs as they are newer
hardware and using a different protocol jaws just has a fit. I've
tested it with different versions of jaws with bootcamp configured and
fusion with interesting results. bootcamp just about supports it but
with quirky behaviours. fusion starts arguing constantly with the
driver routines.
once again freedomscientific wont want to think of it lol typical of
a company who when asked 6 years plus ago about having a version of
jaws developed for the mac they told us to wonder off politely lol

Depends on how you use a computer. If you don't mind spending a lot
of time learning a screenreader and you'll need a lot of macro
programing and such, then Jaws will do, but if you just want to use
Windows without a high learning curve for the screenreader, Window-
eyes is your best bet. Apparently it also depends on how you are
going to install Windows. Window-eyes will work well no matter what
you do, but Jaws seems to work best if you install bootcamp. Not
being a Jaws user I don't know why that is, but I do see that they
seem to have more problems with Fusion and Parallels.

Hello,
I'm considering installing Windows on my Mac, as there are certain
applications that I need for work and that are not compatible with
VO. So, those of you who also use Windows, I wonder if you can tell
me about the screen reader that you use with the Windows OS.
Specifically, I would appreciate input about the characteristics of
your Windows screen reader that you like, as well as about those
that you dislike, such as how difficult it is to learn, cost,
compatability with the major Windows applications, etc.
Thanks.
