Hi THERE!
While I agree that Jaws could do more especially now that they have
acquired Window-Eyes I haven't had a real issue with Jaws. I can read
from the current line to the end of a document simply by pressing the
'insert+the down arrow key. I wonder what programs you are actually
having issues with using Jaws? Yes, I use W.E. for many years and was
sad to see it go, but I haven't really found any major issues with Jaws
either. Wonder if you might give some specifics as to where your issues
have been? I use Thunderbird, Office 2007 notepad, Internet Explorer,
Firefox, Chrome and several other programs regularly and I really don't
seem to have any real problems with. Of course, I kept Window-Eyes on
my computer a long with Narrator and NVDA so if I have issues with one
screen reader I can fall back onto another that will more than likely
work. As I have already said, I probably liked Window-Eye the best of
all of them, but since Window-Eyes appears to be gone for the most part,
I will simply have to make do with whatever I can use and the best of
the remaining screen readers is still Jaws at least that is my opinion
and everyone is entitled to their own opinion<SMILE!>. I will continue
to use Window-Eyes when I need to, at least until the windows updates
render it unusable. Have A good 1! de

No, but maybe Brainwashed. I quit using Jawws in 2004 because WE worked better
with stuff I needed. Now Jaws still doesn't work well with a lot of very common
programs.

While I believe what you say, why are there so many Jaws users, even
some here, who swear by Jaws? They can't all be ignorant, can they?
What I am guessing is happening is, each screen reader has its issues
and some websites work better on WE, and other websites work better on
Jaws. Of course, that is a separate issue from other issues involving
the overall stability of each reader.

Well, I've been using Jaws for a while now and I must confess the
Window-eyes was the much better product both in speed, browsing,
usability, layout, and so much more. Like on the Ohio Lottery Website,
when reading the pick 5 Jaws will not scroll down continuously down
the page like NVDA, Narrator, and Window-eyes do. I also find
Window-eyes synthesizer support was much better. I am not whining, I
am just bemoaning the fact that a company got by with trashing a
product completely, borrowing or using nothing from the product they
trashed and acting like Window-eyes never existed, not to mention
charging so much for the product. Don't give me that similar stuff,
because I've found webpages where Jaws just doesn't work and NVDA and
Narrator do.
So why won't I just shut up? I will, just wanted to point out in my
view what I've realized, and hopefully NVDA, Narrator and others will
be able to say Thank You to VFO for pushing us to a day when a 2
thousand dollar screen reader is no longer need.
Thanks for reading, I'm now shutting up.
