Yes, sort of. it is actually built directly into WE now but limits the efficiency of we's use of the mouse, for example.


I started out with jaws 3.0 actually and have monkeyed around with WE demos again and again over the years. I never quite got the hang of WE but know had it been the screenreader I started out with, I would have.

If I needed to use window Eyes, I would recommend learning it from scratch so you get the full power and performance of it.

Having to restart the computer for another half hour of use is a pain in the butt and does not really leave much of a chance to see how "rock solid" its performance is. Rather let's ask our friend Steve on here if the "lease to own" plan is available in the U.K. This allows you to "lease" Win Eyes for US$39.95 a month if you want to and also gives you the chance to try out WE for the above 40 bucks for a whole months.

Hi

Did I read once that there is some sort of add on for window eyes, which
allowed you to use the jaws key strokes to operate window eyes?

hello Niamh

here is a link for a demo copy of window-eyes.

https://www.humanware.com/en-united_kingdom/products/blindness/screen_reader
s/_details/id_38/windoweyes.html

 the IT person obviously has not considered the possibility that you may
very possibly have to learn a new set of keystrokes and so on in order to
make best use of the program..
anyway, I hope the above link is of help for you. at the very least you will
better informed as to its suitability or otherwise for your specific needs.

regards.
