FAQ

[Holmes, Steve]

Sorry for going so far off topic here, but I need to come to the defense of
Window-Eyes.  It is the only windows screen reader I use and all the various
tasks I perform with windows, access is excellent.  There are many apps I
run without any custom set files.  Perhaps Window-Eyes had some tough times
at its beginning but I now consider it a world class product running circles
around JFW.

But anyhow, back to linux and speakup.

Some day soon, I would like to be able to figure out some of speakup's guts
so I can add features such as speak windows, a major part of both Vocal-Eyes
and Window-Eyes.

from my unhappy memories of using/testing windoweyes, I found it was
pretty shitty under windows anyhow.
forget about reading any application that doesn't have a set file written
for it. At least with jfw, you can find your way around depending of
course the app you're trying to use uses window classes that are known to
jaws.
and given that people code in delfi or some other damned language that
doesn't use known window classes, that's not always possible either.
