Narrator has gotten much better. Problem with it though is if you are going to use chrome, it won't work. You can also take your windows 10 s device out of s mode, but you can't return it to s mode once it's out. As far as JAWS and the 90 dollar price tag, it beats paying $120.00 but it doesn't beat the cost of NVDA wich is um, well no cost. I use both JAWS and NVDA for my job, so I use both of them. Narrator also works well with he office suite so if you are not going to use anything outside of edge and internet explorer, you are good there too.

I'm trying to decide what to do... From what I'm finding, Narrator is getting better - does anyone have any comments/input? There is an HP Stream laptop with Windows S which requires no virus protectionAlthough I have a Lenovo Win 10 machine, this deal is very tempting. . Jaws is going to be a subscription-based program so I will have to pay $90a year to keep it updated. If Narrator works well, it is included in Windows so I can use the $90 for other things like maybe Office 360 The HP laptop with Windows S would also eliminate the cost of antivirus software not to mention the issues with accessibility for the antivirus programs. I am also considering just getting an iPad so I have a back-up if something happens to my phone, but then I'd have to back the iPhone and iPad up to something so I could move stuff from my phone to the ipad -- I get stressed out when I have to deal with that. also, iPads seem to only last a few years before the iPad is no longer ubdateable. I really don't want to try to learn how to use a Fire tablet, and I doubt the accessibility is as good as Apple or Microsoft Just hopeing to get people's thoughts. Really hoping Narrator is working so I can lose Jaws. I know NVDA is an option, but that is one more thing to learn and why bother if Narrator has improved enough. Thanks for any input, brenda Still mourning the loss of Window-Eyes in Ashtabula, Ohio _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
