Hmmm dave, there has been neither collusion nor is intended (certainly on my
part), any hostility.
I merely wished myself to make the point that you cannot instantly equate
jaws with total access for every visually impared person, and because of
that other screen readers or sapi might be
Hi dark.
The main difference here is that winboard is free and open source and
anyone can add to it if they wish. Smugglers 3 is soled and the maker
actually loses money if they don't support enough screen readers. I'm
sure the developer appreciates if people use their product, but I'm sure

That may be, but that really wasn't my point. My point was that Jaws
is losing market shares to competing screen readers like Window-Eyes
and NVDA, and there is still some opinion among Jaws users that Jaws
is still number one and nobody else's screen reader counts. That's

He he, I smell an collusion here. Not only that, an agenda . That's cute
that men still do that even when they are all grown up, he he, that's
cute. You and Audiogamers take your Major KChess and Major BGChess and
use them, they have SAPI support and can save a game. That's all you

While I am not a jaws user, winboard is much more advanced than anything
out there currently for the blind market and I'll use a jaws demo if I
want the features of winboard.
