Dear Shannon:
Both Jaws and Window-Eyes should coexist just fine. However, you will have
to load each program separately and for different uses.
Like you, I am ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED that no CONCERTED EFFORTS are being
made to make accounting software and point of sale software accessible to
screen readers. $5,000-$10,000 for scripting? I am definitely seeing why
GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT, particularly amongst prospective blind entrepreneurs
will continue to be a Herculean task! I suppose that with most folks
working for government or some other firms, the idea of trying to help MAKE
AN ACCOUNTING OR POINT OF SALE SOFTWARE accessible for a screen reader user
will always e muted. After all, it is probably only a tiny segment of our
population truly needs it; there are many more needing games and such.
If you MUST USE JAWS to get your work done and STAY GAINFULLY EMPLOYED, by
all means go for it! You can most likely switch back to Window-Eyes if it
can be demonstrated that it would work with an accounting software that you
can use at work or elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Olusegun
