Oh, believe me, there are numerous cases where WinEyes is superior. Got several websites, besides some applications here, where NVDA simply won't catch up. And some of them, Jaws just doesn't work whatsoever on some of them.
But to be fair, NVDA has helped me out on a few places, where WinEyes was of no help. And a month ago, I had to do some uninstallation of the Avast Antivirus, and the only help I could get, was the OCR feature of Jaws - which did the trick. In one case, I had to perform my net shopping by help of Android on my Mobil phone. No screen reader on the computer, would behave properly. More and more, we see cases where you need a number of tools in your toolbox. And to claim that one screen reader is the only good one, has long been a non-sense. So, let's enjoy the fact we have a number of alternatives, and let's rather learn which one will be the right one, in any given case.
