I've used both screen readers, and for me personally, I feel window eyes is
the better of the two hands down. RJ

Window-Eyes does come with a version of eloquence that can be used as the
default speech.
I have both installed on my computers and have not had any issues at al as
only use one or the other at one time of course.
There's going to be a bit of a learning curbed as the commands are
different
between the two screen readers.

I myself don't care for the Microsoft voices. I'm so use to eloquence.

Tom,
As a general rule, there is no conflict between screen readers. They
merely
reside in the computer.
Also, after years of working with various screen readers, might I suggest
NVDA. Unfortunately eloquence cannot be used with it, but the Microsoft
voices aren't too bad.
I have tried several times over the years to really get into window eyes,
including the latest version with MS Office. I've found its control panel
to be confusing. Also, I find it to be a little clunky on the web.
That's just my two cents based on experience. Others here may feel
differently.
HTH

Hello, again.
In an attempt to have an alternative to Jaws, I'm seriously considering
putting Window Eyes on at least one computer here.
However, I have heard from several sources that having two screen readers
on
the same computer can create real issues, if things are not done properly.
Also, can I configure Window Eyes to work with Elloquence, which is what
Jaws currently uses?
Finally, I'd like to know how much of a learning curve is going to be
involved with learning to use Window Eyes, especially since I have been a
Jaws user for about the last 20 years.
My time to learn a new speech screen reader is limited, although I will
certainly try to do so if it would be in my best interest.
If this post is considered to be "off topic" for this list, I want to
apologize in advance to the moderator and other list members. I simply
don't know where else to ask this question, given the various e-mail lists
to which I belong.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan
