functional than System access; but having said that, I believe that System
Access has actually surpassed jaws in terms of web browsing with Internet
Explorer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>If your student will primarily be working on web
based systems, and using Microsoft Word to write papers, etc, then System Access
should be more than sufficient. If the student has had extensive
experience with Jaws in the past, then I would advise purchasing the Eloquence
option for System Access, at a cost of an additional $25.00. <SPAN
class=476182721-01122009>Eloquence is the synthesizer used by Jaws, and often,
transitioning to a new speech synthesizer can be as difficult, if not more so
than transitioning to an entirely new screen
reader.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
