Hi Bob.
I think you will get passionate endorsements on both of the major screen
readers, and the JAWS users will swear up and down that JAWS is best, and
the Window-Eyes users will swear up and down that Window-Eyes is best.
In reality, I think you will find either one to be a considerable
improvement over the screen reader that is built into Zoomtext. The
reality is that both have strengths and weaknesses. For my own use, I like
JAWS, but that is because it fits my style of computer operation a little
better. I could certainly do the job with Window-Eyes.
Anyway, I feel your pain as I went through a sharp vision loss after being
a good partial all my life, and the transition was and is painful and
frustrating at times. Anyway, I think you won't be disappointed in either
of the screen readers when you decide that you are ready.
