Especially since, even though there are screenreader specific commands for a
lot of things, I, for one, don't use them all. So, my thought is, we will
trip over some things we have to do differently, but it might not be so
terrible. I have used old versions of jaws in class, so I knew some of
them. I might get it but use window eyes for a lot of things and jaws for
some other things. Pam.

For what it's worth, the offer to Upgrade to JAWS for Free is a very
good offer. The Brass at JAWS did not need to do this.
Sure moving over to Jaws requires a bit of effort on our part. We do
need to learn a new keyboard layout, and some of those keys might not be
as easy as the Window Eyes layout, but at this Time you have three
choices. Stay with Window Eyes, go with Jaws and put out a little
effort to learn a few new Key Commands, or move over to NVDA where you
will also need to learn a few new Commands.
Hey, I get it, I too am reluctantly moving over to JAWS, after all they
were the oppisition, and if I end up not liking it, I can then move to
NVDA, which I intend
to continue to use so I can come up to speed with its method of reading
the screen.
I figure Jaws will give me a few pleasant surprises, that I actually will
like, and of course there will be those places where something doesn't
make sense, and might even seem stupid. For me the New way Window
Eyes 9.X Copied text from a Web Page would fall into that category. I
didn't like it much, but I learned to use it and it worked for the most
part.
So, figure out what Key Commands you use all the time in Window Eyes,
and then find out what the corresponding Key Commands would be in Jaws.
What are we talking about here 10 to 15 commands? Perhaps even less.
And I am not talking about the entire range of Key commands found in
Window Eyes, but just the ones you use every day. There will be a
difference, probably a big difference.
Others on this list and on the Jaws list will be willing to provide all
of us Jaws Virgins to make the change over in Style.
At this point, I'll give the Free Upgrade to Jaws a try, and do what it
takes to learn a few new key commands to at least be able to navigate
around a bit in all the programs I currently use.
See you on the Jaws list,
Grumpy Dave
