Hi Everyone!
Owning a Mac means I can run 2 or more Virtual Windows machines at any
one time and that's exactly what I'm doing, running window-Eyes on one
machine and JAWS on the other and switching between them "on-the-fly",
switching back to Mac Os10 Leopard more often than not but that's for
another time and another place <smile>.
Anyway back to the point, I have to confess that I'm very impressed
with what Freedom Scientology have done with their interface for
Windows Internet Explorer, the "Forms Mode" as we knew it (or as
Window-Eyes users know it) has changed radically, you don't have to
switch it off or disable it any longer when you say come to an edit
box in order that you fill it in, you're alerted to such elements with
various pieces of audio feedback, in that way JAWS 10 is much like
Mac's Voiceover.
Is GW Micro looking at a similar system for future versions of WE? It
would be nice and handy. As a final note it also seems to me that
JAWS does a far better job at formatting a web page, for example you
know that the web page has say blank lines and so forth so you know
you'll get a true representation of the formatting if you copy text to
the clipboard from the page for instance.
Just my 2 cents worth and I'm still very glad I've purchased Window-
Eyes, its on the whole the better Screen Reading package of the two.
Cheers
P.S. The Freedom Scientology web site has a "tell your story) section
where users of Jaws can bask in the glory of how wonderful JAWS and
Freedom Scientology has made them, does the GW Micro web site have
such a facility for user testimonials about Window-Eyes If it does
then I've not seen it but I believe such a section would be a great
help to those who are new to Window-Eyes and Screen Readers,
particularly elderly people who are using a computer for the first
time and toying with further challenges on their machine.
