I'm not making the switch. I use WE, NVDA, and Narrator. I'm also
waiting to see what WE will do with the Creators edition.

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.

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.
