Hi

Although I am primarily a JAWS user, I also have W E which works much better
with some programs.
NVDA is also a good option especially as it can be free.
I find that JAWS works better with Win-Test than the other two, and am just
playing around with N1MM and N3FJP both of which I know Kelvin uses with W e
 With success.

Hi Anthony,

Switching screen readers is never easy, and goes some way to explain why
folk get so tribal about them <smile>.  I'm a WindowEyes user, and I tried
almost everything available when Out Spoken and then WindowBridge bit the
dust.

It was an easy choice when I discovered the ease with which you could move
the Mouse pointer!  Interestingly, the latest version of WE has a numeric
keypad that I think makes JAWS users feel more at home.  The first thing I
did was to turn it off, as I wanted the numeric keypad back to normal!!!

None of the amateur software I use works properly with standard Windows
keys, and the Mouse is almost always needed.  Hope that's an incentive to
give it a good try <smile>.

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

Hi John;
I have been using Jaws since 1988.

I have been trying to make the transition to WindowEyes with little success.
It is a much smaller program than Jaws and, it is much more stable.

Any ideas?

Anthony
