Hey Brian/listers.
hey what you've said below brian, re your view that jaws is still the
"leading edge" screenReader, with particular reference to it's ability to
provide enhanced flexability re your business of writing scripts for
increased usibility of applications etc,
really kinda intrigued me. Everet will indicate if he thinks this not on
topic, but, given that WE now does have support for scripting, and given
that you were once a window eyes man if I remember rightly back in the olden
days,
I'm curious to have you share your particular reasons for thinking Jaws
*is*, still the "leading edge screenReader?" particularly I guess for
ontopicness of this list, presumably in your view, in it's still ahead
ability to meet the needs of high accessibility demands, even though WE now
also has scripting capabilities?
What I'm trying to ask is, have you yourself, personally, really put the new
windoweyes scripting through it's paces? to, for example, try and mock up
in windowEyes script land, what you've been able to achieve in jaws script
land? and if so, have you found definite areas that windoweyes scripting
support still lags behind in, compared with that of jaws builtins?
Or do you feel it's just not economically worth your while now investing
resources in learning Windoweyes scripting approach, in order to perform
such tests with any degree of equal fairness to both sides, as per perceived
strengths and weaknesses?
I'm just really curious to hear you share your views/thoughts, as to
specific reasons for below?
I'm such an hsc man now that I can't see myself leaving the jaws world any
time soon, given how much energy I've invested in it, but, I'm still curious
to hear other's views on this.
Would you care to elaborate?
