Hello Vaughn. I hope it really works for you and that you are satisfied with it. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vaughan Dodd via Talk Sent: Monday, March 27, 2017 1:38 PM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: Window-Eyes has gone from my employer's computer
Greetings everyone. Over the weekend, I switched to JFW, and it has come as something of a shock to realise that Window-eyes is no longer the preferred screen reader. Yesterday it came off my workstation at work. JFW meets more of my work requirements than does Window-Eyes. The braille support with the Focus line of displays is far better than the support I could get from Window-eyes. JFW's extensive help and other training material is for me quite daunting, but I'll get used to it. Web browsing at close to JFW default settings gives more information regarding elements and content. Outlook is keeping track of open messages more reliably. Yesterday at work: Window-Eyes crashed four times in three hours. To be more accurate: other apps interacting with Window-Eyes crashed, and Outlook was one of the prime culprits. The corporate network gets grumpy with respect to some of the Window-eyes apps. I am sure that it probably also does with JFW's scripts. So: it is sad to see an old friend go, but when the tools of the trade no longer do what is required, hard decisions have to be made with respect to those tools.
