Was wondering if anyone was using this combination or had a recommendation for a wireless Bluetooth device that works well with JAWS. We’re on Windows 7 JAWS 16, will soon be upgrading to 17.

Mark, it has been my experience that a bluetooth headset works best with a computer that has a fast processor. The faster the processor, the better the results for the bluetooth headset. I use the Bose OE Sound Link headset. I think they have released a newer model of these, and from what I hear, they work really well, with both the computer, and a smart device such as an iPhone or iPod. .

The H800 from Logitech is another one that is
decent. It has Bluetooth as well as another wireless mode that hooks up to a
tiny USB dongle that probably works better for the computer side. It has a
3-position switch, which is off, Bluetooth, and then computer. I think it is
still Bluetooth 2.1, even though I just got a new one for Christmas, and that
little dongle is compatible with versions of Windows going back to at least XP,
and it doesn't need extra software to get it working.

Thanks, I’ll review the Plantronics model once we see whether, or how well, it works with Jaws.
