Exactly Dark. That's the only reason I was such a staunch JAWS user for ten
years. And the only other option I did experiment with was OutSpoken, the
first screen reader for Mac. And to be quite honest I absolutely hated that.
But the reason, at least here in the US, that so many people support JAWS is
that state agencies for the blind are contractually obligated by FS to teach
their clients JAWS.
He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the castle
of aaaaggh.

I think what surprises me about screen readers though is the way that
people tned to assume because jaws does something it's universal.
I've seen a good few games which say "unload your screen reader" where in
actual fact "your screen reader" just means jaws and it's irritated key
shortcut business, and window eyes, system access and Hal don't need to do
this at all.
The only sad thing is Jaws is so often presented as the only system
available, people do assume that it's the only workable solution and don't
considder alternatives.
Beware the grue!
