Hi brian and all.
I certainly agree with you in terms of utilising skills but I would want to
make sure first that Zoomtext and Window-eyes will definitely work together.
I must say my confidence in Zoomtext was a bit shaken after all the problems
people seemed to have with version 8. is version 9 considered to be more
stable? I agree that buying Window-eyes represents a more cost effective
solution and, while the help available is not as intuitive as JAWS, it is
certainly better than the frankly lamentable help offered by Supernova.
When I say this I am not trying to deliberately do any screenreaders downbut
merely give my impressions concerning what is quite a tricky decision.
Brian, have you much experience of the latest version of zoomtext,
particularly working with Window-eyes on the system as well? I know that
DCM should allow them to work but I also fully realise that things are not
always as straight forward as they may seem.
Cheers
Graham

Tony,
In this specific situation, using Supernova does not make a lot of sense to
me. You are already used to using Zoomtext for magnification, so why not
utilise the skills you already have and use Window-Eyes in conjunction with
it? In other words, just purchase Window-Eyes, and switch off the Zoomtext
speech. You can then use the speech from Window-Eyes to do the reading of
the e-mail or other applications, and use the magnification from Zoomtext as
and when you want it.
In terms of reading e-mail with Outlook Express, this will be very easy to
do with Window-Eyes. W E uses Microsoft Active Accessibility to read the
text from Outlook Express, so the accuracy is going to be very high indeed.
