Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere. Here in the UK, as far as I know, the major governing bodies only use Jaws and Supernova, and they do not know anything about Window-Eyes because of the relatively small marketing it has received in the UK. However, I could be wrong.

JAWS is used a lot throughout the Federal Government but it does not have a "contract" with the Federal government. I am a Fed and I use both JAWS and Windoweyes. -----Original Message----- From: Reinhard Stebner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2013 8:30 PM To: 'Peter Wolfe'; 'gw-info' Subject: RE: Off topic - U.S Federal Workers using Window-Eyes?

What would you like to know? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Wolfe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2013 7:45 PM To: gw-info Subject: Off topic - U.S Federal Workers using Window-Eyes? Dear all, Does anyone on here work for the U.S federal government using Window-Eyes at work? In many many conversations wih people and programs that I've attended, it appears that JAWS has a federal contract with the federal government. I'm not trained with JAWS Screen Reader, so would like to know your advice on whether its worth my while to learn JAWS or not for federal employment. I'm just so annoyed that I was trained with Window-Eyes and its not even used almost anywhere of employment. Can somebody or anybody give me advice on what to freakin do. Right now I'm blamed for not knowing JAWS for the IRS training program, so I couldn't complete it impart cause of it. This is where the government in my view screws up by picking losers and winnersx in things. I wish that Window-Eyes and JAWS could work in the federal government. However, the IRS in particular thinks that Window-Eyes isn't as powerful as JAWS. I've had two separate occasions had Window-Eyes through the Small Business Administration and another internship in D.C. How many freakin screen readers must we know what should we know or what can we do? I'm so so tired of the confusing mess of the disorganized Vocational Rehabilitation programs that they are obviously failures and us students are blamed for it? Thanks for listening just I want work with my social science degree just that not even SPSS softwares and other necessary softwares don't currently work with Window-Eyes or JAWS and there is no clear answers or standards of what we should know to obtain a job or anything.
