Hello all! I had to uninstall Jaws completely from my laptop since they didn't coexist on my system. I'm having no problems with Window Eyes and System Access! Both have excellent customer support! I for one will never have anything from Freedom Scientific Ever again! So hats off to Window Eyes and anyone else who has excellent customer support contrary to Freedom Scientific who doesn't have good customer support in my opinion!
If I find I absolutely need JFW and can't avoid getting it, I'll do so but till then I'm content with Window Eyes and SA. I can't get NVDA to work well either. It works when it does but it completely crashes after five minutes or so. I'm happy with what I have!

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.
