[nabs] difference between Jaws 12 and Windows Eyes 7

[Rhonda Partain]

Since most blind and visually impaired people are not employed, or are
underemployed having a payment plan makes it possible to have the latest
screen reader. Jaws is a good product, but its price makes it hard for an
individual to afford.

I know Freedom Scientific has caught some flack for not taking customers
into consideration, preferring instead to deal with government agencies.
That being said, I think customer service is generally good.  When a
representative has not been able to answer my questions, the issue has been
escallated up to the right supervisor, and in at least one case I was put in
touch with the programmers themselves to work out my issues.  I recently
purchased JAWS 12 and 13, and while in a couple years my feelings may change
on FS products, for the moment I feel it offers the most compatibility with
a lot of applications out there.  This is by no means to discount Window
Eyes, whose growing script repository is enviable, nor is it to put down
NVDA and other products out there.  You pay a lot of money for a good
product, and remember sometimes the JAWS issues aren't necessarily JAWS
issues as much as Windows issues.  I understand Windows 7 offers better
stability than previous Windows platforms.

 

Best,

 

Joe
