About a month ago I posted a question about furniture and software we were
tentatively planning to put in an adaptive technology lab in a new library.
We were suggesting putting Jaws for Windows and ZoomText Extra Level 2 on
our workstations.  I got one response that we might want to consider
ZoomText Level 1if we are putting Jaws on the same workstation.  What's the
collective wisdom on which would be a better combination of software?
During a site visit to another library's adaptive technology lab, I made a
note that ZoomText Extra and Jaws can't run simultaneously since they both
use the same speech card.  If I remember correctly, that library purchased
Jaws in addition to ZoomText Level 2 because it can voice text in dialogue
boxes and highlighted buttons that ZoomText does not read.  If we did
decide to downgrade the ZoomText software, how difficult is it to run
ZoomText Level 1 and Jaws together?  Would we make things easier on our
users to spring for the ZoomText Level 2?
Thanks much!
