The big test will be when windows 10 Creators update is released. Will
window-eyes work with it?

WE is not dead yet. It still works great for me and they still respond to a
support question, although this is not as good as it used to be.

Subject: makeing the switch
Well, I guess I’ve fought it for as long as I can. I’ve refused for
several years to consider switching to a Mac, but with the apparent demise
of Window Eyes, and Jaws sucking as it always has, I’m going to be making
the switch. I’ve been a loyal WE user since 2004, but it seems that it’s
time to teach an old dog new tricks. lol. I can take my I phone or my I pad
mini and have no problem using programs like Netflix, Slink, and other
websites using Voice Over, that WE and Jaws say hey can’t because the sites
aren’t accessible. I think I’ll keep one of my Windows PC’s with WE on it
just so I can look back and think of all the money I spent just to be left
with my thumb up my nose. When I think of the money I’ve spent maintaining a
screen reader, and now the built in screen reader with the IOS works great
with all those websites that were called by tech support for Jaws and window
eyes “inaccessible”.. I know I may catch some flack for this, but it’s the
truth none the less.I guess VFO thinks they’ve cornered the market on Screen
readers, but I refuse to do business with them, because of who they are and
who they are connected with. I started out with Windows 95 and JFW back in
1995, and I used Jaws up untill 2004 when a friend of mine and myself
started building a web site, he was a WE user and I a Jaws user. I couldn’t
do some of the thing with jaws and Freedom Scientific’s tech support told me
it was because the page builder I was usin was “inaccessible”, but my buddy
with Window eyes could do it. I started using WE to work on the website and
as I got used to it I began using is more and more for other things. I found
that WE worked “out of the box” with more programs than Jaws did. So, in
2004 I became a Window eyes user. now I’m sad to say that the same type of
thing has happened, except this time is between Window eyes Windows and
Voice Over and Mac. I will be buying my first Mac in a couple of months and
telling WE and Windows goodby.
