[Athen] Fusion- ZoomText and JAWS together

[Joseph Polizzotto]

Here are a few reasons why I recommend upgrading:

 

*         Single installation

*         Single activation code

*         Ease of transition from magnifier use to screen reading use

*         ZoomText users can access JAWS speech features for all screen
reading, which means an enhanced method of navigation

*         ZoomText users can use a JAWS voice profile with synthesizers in
multiple languages to read multi-lingual documents

 

One negative of upgrading to fusion might be the following:

 

*         Less creativity in implementation across campuses (1 ZoomText
license + 1 JAWS license = 1 Fusion license). Whereas before your JAWS
license and ZoomText license may have been activated on separate computers,
the upgrade will force you to have JAWS + ZoomText + Fusion on the same
computer.

 

HTH,

So, we are up for renewal of our JAWS software.  We have tried Fusion in the
40 minute mode.  

 

We would really appreciate any feedback on the dual software, any troubles
or concerns?

 

Thanks much!!
