Listers, I had my hands on Jaws for something like an hour or so, that many years ago, it would not even be considered useful for today's computer activity. Name it a simple way to get a worksheet done. So, forgive me if I do not know exactly what is wrong with Jaws, to many of you. Maybe you

Hi Jim. I totally agree with you. Let's just focus on the functionality of Window-Eyes. You are right that all it does is create fear, and uncertainty when this topic is discussed. From: Jim [mailto:wohlg...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2016 6:45 PM To: Sky Mundell; Window-Eyes

Re: Window-Eyes is Dead!

Hi there FOLKS! I recently enquired about purchasing an SMA for W.E. At this time they are still selling them. I don't believe they could or would sell something if the product was no longer going to be supported. All of this speculation is doing nothing but taking the discussion away from

RE: Window-Eyes is Dead!

Hi Peter. Speaking of what you said about Window-Eyes being dead, I have contacted our local dealer who sells both JAWS and Window-Eyes to discuss the situation of what was happening and he was shocked, and he told me that he had the head from optolek Canada, as Canada does have an optolek branch

Window-Eyes is Dead!

Hi all, When the founders and main staff of an organization leave, the business dies a quick death. There is absolutely no reason why f v o needs to or wants to support a product that is given away for free. I recommend all of us check out the Narrator on Windows 10 and NVDA as an

Re: Future of WE

Andre, I've only taken a cursory glance at this so take it for what it's worth. There is very basic mouse support within NVDA. But there are a couple mouse add-ons available. One is vMouse. But on the home page it says it supports Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1. So I don't know if it will work

Re: Future of WE

Although the speculations as to whether Window-Eyes will still be around is a bit hasty, I still encourage the use of more than one screen reader in general. First of all, you will benefit from the functionality of each reader, many times giving you better tools to perform the job you want,

Re: Future of WE

I'm not sure I understand why some here feel this urgent need to switch to another screen reader at this moment. On 11/26/2016 6:03 PM, Dennis Long via Talk wrote: > Jaws 18 is out and should have a demo. > > -Original Message- > From: Talk

Re: Response to Dve about WindowEyes and and the Shark

Well, jaws was always way overpriced here, too. I'm surprised to know that jaws and window eyes are the same price, now. Jaws used to be way over a thousand dollars, and window eyes was closer to 700 dollars or so. Pam. -Original Message- From: David via Talk Sent: Wednesday,

Re: Response to Dve about WindowEyes and and the Shark

Well, another thing that had a hand in window bridge's going out of business was that one of the brothers died. There was talk of starting it up again, but that never happened. One thing I liked about window bridge is that it had the dos screenreader, slimware. Nobody told me what that was

RE: Future of WE

Is there any kind of mouse key functionality with NVDA? I know I've used it for a bit and couldn't find any. How about scripting capabilities? How about labeling graphics etc.? If not, that's why I haven't tried using it as much although I like some of its functions where it reads certain things

Hi there! I agree, you do get what you pay for, although I have NVDA and it has made some strides toward becoming relevant I still think it has aways to go before I would make it my main screen reader. Yes, I do use it when W.E. won't work, which up to now isn't very often, but we will see

RE: Future of WE

Well I plan to keep my head in the sand for as long as I can and stick with what I know. I doubt that I will ever go over to Jaws but will stay sitting on the fence for as long as I possibly can to see what solutions work for others who are also reluctant to go over to the Shark! Alison
