well,
unfortunately, I don't use window eyes. I use voiceover on OS X. When dell finally gets off their collective butts and fixes my windows laptop, I will have to try it with NVDA. I do not have the money to try and get jaws (its going to cost me plenty of cash just to get that laptop fixed.
some of us out here use jaws, others use system access (both windows products). Still others use OS X (like me) or Linux.
THe problem is that most sites will try to appeal to the largest market (internet explorer) and code objects on their pages to work optimally with that browser. Window eyes (like jaws) uses the video intercept method to determine text, controls and other items in the browser window. This is not the case for virtually every other screen reader out there. That leaves the rest of us hanging.
