Hi Tammi,
That's just the sort of information I was looking for. Thanks very much.
Cordially,
Rafael

Hi. My name is Tammi, and I've used both JAWS and Window-Eyes at
work. If you have no experience, both screen readers will take
some practice, but both have decent help systems and tutorials. If
you like to play around a lot with your speech settings, they're a
bit easier to find in Window-Eyes, since they're in a fairly
straight-forward menu system. Window-Eyes is a bit less expensive
and works great on the Internet, in E-mail, and in word processing,
as well as for many other functions. At times, I've found
spreadsheets slightly more usable with JAWS. Unfortunately, I have
no experience with the Mac for either as of yet and am not sure if
either will run on one. I'm a PC user about to upgrade. I checked
out a Mac at the store and joined this list as part of my decision-
making process. All the best.

Is Window Eyes a relatively easy screen reader to learn?

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.
