 MO> I'm curious, now that you have the new jaws up andrunning, and seeing as

Well, Mary, I thought I would come in here and stick my two cents
worth in here.  Mary, at this time, I think that the comparison
would not be fare to either.  It would be better to wait till the
new vocal eyes comes out to get a good comparison.  The reason I
say that is that the things that I would say that jaws is better at
than vocal eyes, is possibly being correctted with new vocal eyes
from what Doug said about it.  Both programs are good.  The one
thing that I still like about jaws is that you can use macros to do
complicated tasks.   That is not going to be correctted with the
new vocal eyes, but might be correctted in the future for those
that like macros.  It is true that for most things that vocal eyes
does not need macros for, there are still a few things that I would
like macros for doing.

The one thing that I like about jaws is the jaws cursor which
allows me to stay in contact with my program,  and the review mode
does not let you do that, but Doug says that he is going to give us
the best of both review  and separate cursor.  That is why I say
that one needs to see what all the new vocal eyes gives us before
making a fare comparison.  At this time, I would have to say that
you couldn't go wrong with either program, and you need to get the
demos and try for yourself.  As you know everbody has a different
oppinion.
