A lot of the problem there, is of course, that jaws actually works for

the most part and so now it is mostly a matter of keeping pace with the major applications. Unfortunately though an honest accounting of the value added with each year's updates would not pay FS' bills. I have been trying WE over the last week or so and I am amazed at how much lower quality a product it is. And not just on things where I need to get used to different keystrokes or such. I'm talking about items like the WE dictionary not being able to handle punctuation in the exception dictionary and their character dictionary not being able to handle multiple character sequences (I am up against the jaws 2k diction word limit so it is a feature in jaws I use quite extensively). There is an extended dictionary add-on, but even that can not handle source values that have '=' characters. The only area I have found so far that I am impressed by WE is in its scripting support, both in terms of language (since it uses the standard VBScript interpreter) as well as the exposed programming elements.
