Hi;
I think lots depends on what you are trying to get that computer to do. 
  I must say that back in 2005 and 2006 when I was still working, I had 
both window-eyes and jfw.  It may have just been that period of time but 
jfw seemed to have updates that were not free much more frequently than 
window-eyes.  Maybe that means jfw is a superior program, who knows.  If 
I were starting from the beginning I would take a serious look at system 
access.  I tried there free 7 day test program and there screen reader 
did all the basic things I needed done.  The document recognition 
software did as well as openbook and the prices were drastically lower. 
  At this point money has been spent so I'm keeping what I have.
