Hi.

There are plenty of other options, NVDA which is a free open source screen 
reader, Supernova, Window-Eyes, System Access and its free companion product SA 
To Go.  Plenty of choice – my suggestion is try a few and see which screen 
reading product fits your needs, budget and requirements.  System Access is 
certainly the cheapest but as I understand, NVDA is coming along strong though 
I haven’t personally used it in a long time.

All the best, Ibrahim.

I had JAWS 10 and with so many issues I was upgraded to JAWS 11.  I never touch 
JAWS now, too much trouble with the tech support!!!!

  I make no apologies for cross posting.

  Hello folks.  I upgraded to version 10 of Jaws and have been playing it on my 
desktop running XP.  I have just purchased a laptop with Windows 7 premium and 
the CD is not compatible.  Sight and Sound tell me I have to pay nearly £200 to 
upgrade to version 12.  I think this is a rip-off.  I don't need all the things 
in version 12 but if I want to stay with jaws I have no choice.  I will have to 
get a new screen reader.

  Freedom Scientific making money all the time I think it is terrible  Any 
response?

  Cheers  Ron.
