I am using JAWS8.0 successfully, as are many others on the list here. JAWS8 has the extra RealSpeak Solo Synth voices included on its CD, which offer a nice alternative (if one wants one) in say-all. For Internet Explorer 7 (with its enhanced access to RSS newsfeeds and podcasts) you're best with JAWS8 for now. I think the Skim Reading feature was also enhanced slightly.

Hello everyone, I am currently using jaws 6.0. A sails person from Freedom Scientific called and left a message on my answering machine wanting to know if I would like to upgrade to jaws 8.0. I'm just trying to figure out if it would be worth spending the money to upgrade to jaws 8.0. Personally I don't know anyone using jaws 8.0, so I can't ask specific questions about it. What things are different in jaws 8.0? What new programs does jaws 8.0 support? I did hear that you can use Yahoo messenger with 8.0, but I'm not sure. I would like to use Yahoo messenger, but I don't want to spend that kind of money just to use it. I guess I'm just looking for opinions, do you all think it is worth it to upgrade from jaws 6.0 to jaws 8.0? I am running windows XP home. Any feed back on this would be greatly appreciated!
