OT: Windows screen readers (was A few issues with Boot Camp, and a heads-up for users of JAWS)
I have to say, I used Windows every day for over a year, then slowly less and less as I started the transition to the Mac, with only NVDA. I never ran into a single problem, and in fact had a much smoother experience overall. NVDA has only gotten better since those days, too. And yes, before that I used Jaws for years, so I'm not trying to compare NVDA to something I never used (that's what I meant by smoother - NVDA ran better and with fewer bugs and oddities than Jaws ever has). The Mac is still the most seamless experience of all, but NVDA worked just fine and I never once needed Jaws or WE.

So you end up installing the one screen reader that does everything, either JAWS or Window-Eyes (I'm fortunate enough to own both). I hope that Microsoft advances the state of play here, because I really do want to see a Windows world devoid of the requirement for external screen reading software. But yeah, you know, that's kind of not going to happen while Microsoft is studiously avoiding getting hit by sueballs, to our exclusion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Mod note - Windows, Windows screen readers and VMs
Hi All, a lister wrote me privately in regard to my earlier post concerning what's on and off topic for this list in regard to Windows and Windows screen readers. The lister was wondering if the question 'Why does my Jaws licens disappear when I change the ram settings?' or related such questions concerning how screen readers relate to VM usage are on topic for this list. Absolutely, yes they are on topic. Just remember to keep things Mac / Apple-related, and we're all good!… Have a great day / evening!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
