Hello Jamie. I would just like to add that even though Window-Eyes 7.0
has scripting capabilities, it does not mean we are doing away with what
you can already do with a set file. As it is, the set file is very
powerful in its own way.
Many thanks.

Jim, as someone who has used both Jaws and Window-Eyes, I will state that it
is my opinion that DecAccess 32 is a bit less responsive than Eloquence.
Using Window-Eyes 6.1, I was never able to use Eloquence for a long period
of time without it crashing. I have found better results with beta 1 of
Window-Eyes 7.0, but I am using DecAccess 32 until beta 2 because the
Eloquence quirks really bug me at present. If you are using Dec Access32, I
would say the sluggishness is the synth. If you are using Eloquence, then
you and I will both need to wait with our fingers crossed for beta 2.
As unhappy as I am with the current situation between FS and GW Micro, I
still have to say that both Jaws and Window-Eyes are excellent products. I
have always found Window-Eyes to be better able to handle new applications,
especially when screen review techniques are needed. I have never been a
scripter and of course this has always been Jaws' strength in the past.
Obviously the landscape is changing rapidly. I am going to be fascinated to
see the reaction of grizzled veterans of Jaws scripting to the new
possibilities afforded in Window-Eyes 7.
There has always been a team spirit among Window-Eyes users that I have
never seen among Jaws users. I think that is part of the reason that this
list has been absolutely crazy the last few days. Actually, people have used
quite a bit of restraint all things considered.
I stated the first day the law suit was announced that I had sold my copy of
Jaws. In the interest of full disclosure, I did not feel that I could
financially support two screen readers and needed to make a personal
decision. I decided on Window-Eyes and acted accordingly by selling Jaws.
Having burned that bridge, I certainly wish the best for GW Micro.
I would be interested in your reasons for checking out Window-Eyes, but that
is absolutely none of my business and I will quite understand if you wish to
keep that to yourself. Welcome to this list and welcome to the Window-Eyes
family.
