Larry, I own both as well, but my preference is WindowEyes. In all fairness however they both perform about the same in Media Center. Even Narrator works in Media Center. I just listened to a great review of Media Center 2005 done by Larry Scutchon. You should be able to find it at www.blindcooltech.com
It will give you a good idea of what to expect. He uses all three screen readers during the review, JFW, WindowEyes, and Narrator. --Best regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry N Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 2:43 PM To: PC audio discussion list.
