If nothing else you can use the demo which is a 40 minute usage then you have
to I think turn it off and back on or reboot or something but at least you
would get used to using jaws and learn if you like it or don't like it, and
nvda is free so you can always install that and try it to see if

Hello List,
It is with great sadness that today I installed Jaws.

Micro also saw the handwriting on the wall before even agreeing to a merger
when I listened to Jeff bishop talk, on the Main Menu podcast, I felt

Dictating can be real "fun". I have to read back everything I type,

Maybe AI Squared was not technically forced into an agreement with VFO,
but they may have seen the handwriting on the wall and realized it was
their best option. I still wonder if AI knew they were goin to join VFO
prior to merging with GW.
Whatever the case, it is a done deal, and nothing

It means that there will not be any developments, but the Window-Eyes
for Office deal will still run. I think the question and response
should have brought about some probing for something more satisfactory.
It bothers me that too many people are gagged due to non-disclosure
agreements.

Just to be clear, you must reinstall the set files, then the Office Enhance,
