That's what I'm doing. I'm waiting for the authorization from Jaws. But I
am still mostly going to use window eyes. But I will use jaws, too. Pam.

Hi all. One thing to keep in mind is that for those of you who choose to
hold out until the very last second that WE stops working, you will be
more frustrated when it's yanked out from under you and you are caught
unprepared. this could easily be a situation where you need to get
things done and now you are fighting with learning another screen reader
cold turkey. If you take the approach of starting to get comfortable
with Jaws or another screen reader, you can still use WE until it
doesn't work any more, then you will have a less stressful time switching.
I hope this makes sense.

The operative words are "just may stop:" hasn't happened yet. Until it
does or until window-eyes doesn't do what I wwant, I'll keep using it. I
don't have windows ten and run xp and seven. I wil go to n v d a if
necessary. I've actually got some dos boxes I built up and still run
vocal-eyes, needed to program some radios.

I have been a WE user for over 20 years and always felt it was the best
screen reader. Now with no more development I have to realize that the
next major release of Win 10 just may stop WE dead in its tracks. As I
recall in the past every new release of Windows required an update to WE
to make WE work with it. So now if you plan on using WE well into the
future you are probably going to have to avoid any future major Windows
upgrades. Is that a bad thing who knows.
I am finding that NVDA does a pretty good job with very few things it
doesn't do as well as WE. I did take up VFO's offer of a free copy of
Jaws and am using it as my secondary screen reader. If you plan on
staying with a Windows based computer I don't understand why you would
not take the free copy of Jaws. Actually the Jaws SMA's are less
expensive than the WE SMA's I had purchased in the past.
