Hello list, picking up on a comment having to do with the screen reader market thread and OpenBook/Kurzweil 1000, I was curious to know peoples experience with FineReader and Jaws.
Im a K1000 user since the single digit versions, but have never really gotten quite used to or liked the whole separate numpad commands or synth when switching back and forth with Jaws. K1000 has gotten a whole lot better with Jaws, but still, I find a lot of the add-ons like the calculator, address book and so on in K1000 unnecessary. Im running V13.x and have been thinking of upgrading to the latest version as well as putting K1000 on my business desktop, but I can either spend the $100.00 or so for the upgrade or try out FineReader for not that much more. For Jaws users, how well does FineReader work with the screen reader? Is it similar to K1000 where you have to deal with a totally different synth when working in that program or any other commands particular to FineReader? I do like how K1000 has a menu option that you can click on from the context menu when highlighting a file to convert. Does FineReader have the same function? Im running JFW 17. Any input would be appreciated. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
