Ok Willie, here I come with jaws again.   I understand a study was
made by the American Foundation for the Blind, and they reported
that jaws was the easiest speech program to learn.  Now that I have
looked at most of the docs for vocal eyes, I will at this time have
to agree that I think that jaws would be easier to learn than vocal
eyes.  Now as far as which one is better in the long run, at this
time, I am not  able to say.  I do think that jaws would be easier
to learn, and since many different students would be using, and
learning it, I would have to go with jaws.
