This is true enough. Although I'd been a Window-eyes user ever since MS Windows was introduced, even a few months before migrating to Jaws last year, I was still learning new features in Window-eyes. I would say that I'm still a very basic user of Jaws but each week I try to learn a new command or

Hi, I still find myself having to turn jaws off and Window Eyes on to do some things. I switched to Window eyes in 2004 and left jaws behind, because WE did things better than jaws. I have yet to have a good experience with tech support at FS. -Original Message- From: Dennis Long via

Jaws is indeed a good screen reader, but websites like megabus.com require you to select the month and day you will be travelling. That's where VoiceOver shines. It is frustrating with Jaws to select the month and day of travel. I recently had to interact with the U.S. postal website. Again it
