Oh I never said I didn't like it. It's just not my favorite. Things just
don't seem as simple to do as they have been with WE. I also can't seem to
get Eloquence to work with it properly. It's not my favorite voice in terms
of quality but its response time is still just about the quickest I've
experienced.

I'm afraid you're most likely right. NVDA is by no means my favorite screen
reader but I've had to use it with MSWord since getting Windows 10 so I may
as well get used to using it for other things. I absolutely despise JAWS and
so I refuse to go back to it, so that means NVDA.

I suspect certain people at VFO feel the exact same way about
Window-eyes.
Unfortunately, Window-eyes has always been kind of seen as the underdog,
whereas JAWS is the more popular option. The most popular doesn't always
mean better, but when you're dealing with money, that's what
happens. So unfortunately, it's looking more and more like JAWS
will win. I hope I am wrong.

Magic's death is coming and it's deserved. That software is a joke.
Vfo selling we sma's means nothing. Of course they'll take your money.
You're not gonna get what you paid for but it's your money. Most
likely sma holders will get discounted jfw offered. I've never seen so
many people determined to bury they heads in the sand. We's time is up
y'all. You can use we until your pc turns to dust but the reality is
that there won't be any future improvements. As new windows stuff
comes out, we will become unusable.

Since obtaining ZoomText, they haven't scrapped Magic.

Hi Peter,
Why not two screen readers from VFO.
Many other companies in the real world have more than one brand of
products
in their offerings, why not Window-eyes which is far better than
the other
brand VFO sells.
Also if Window-eyes is dead like so many speculate, VFO had no
issues in
selling me a Window-eyes SMA a month ago for $199.00 for the next
two major
upgrades!
Narrator has a long way to go to be a viable screen reader and do
we want to
be relying on Narrator for Windows, like those poor folks who have
MAC and
appple products having only one choice, Voice over!
NVDA is coming along, but it has a way to go to be equal to
Window-eyes.
I am successfully using Window-eyes 9.1 with XP Pro.
YOU are probably laughing, but MY company did over $500,000.00
using XP pro,
Window-eyes 9.1, AVG 2 year protection software, Firefox for my
browser,
Office 2003 with the ms converter patch to access office 2007 and
up files,
and good old outlook express and outlook as email clients with
little or no
issues!
I also have over 6 computers with windows 7 pro with the latest
Window-eyes
9.54 with little issues.
I wil go to Dolphin screen reader before I am stuck with no
Window-eyes and
have NVDA as a backup screen reader.
Who knows, maybe if the alternative facts are true about the end of
Window-eyes, maybe some other adaptive company wil take it over and
keep it
alive, Like HumanWare.
So I wil expect a refund from VFO if Window-eyes does not come out
with any
major upgrades and use my refund to purchase Dolphin screen reader
software
instead.

It always amazes me when smart folks (like on this list) prefer a
fanticy
instead of reality. There is absolutely no reason for Window-Eyes to
continue and compete with JFW. Why would they do that?
There are 3 options to check out: Narrator on Windows 10, NVDA, and
VoiceOver. So, get real and get to work.
I suppose those of you who believe that Window-Eyes will stay
around also
believe that the health care bill that passed the House last week
will cover
everybody as promised by Trump instead of leaving 24 million folks
without
any health care.
