This is a difficult question to answer for somebody else. Each screen
reader has its passionate fans and its vitriolic detractors. You  might
try going to www.afb.org and look in the archives of their on-line
magazine, Accessworld; seems to me that at some time in the past year or
so they did a comparison of JAWS and Window-Eyes. For the most part, you
will find when you ask around that people favor the one they learned
first (smile), their native screen reader tongue, you might say. Each
has its strong points. Have never tried using Window-Eyes with Duxbury;
maybe someone else here has.

    Nobody answered so here we go again.  I do not yet use a screen
reader 
but plan to get one.  This may be a difficult one to answer but which is

better overall, JAWS or Win Eyes?  I dont want to spend lots of time
playing 
with both.  Just want to get one and learn it.  LOL
