I have used all of the screen readers you mention here. Actually that might not be totally accurate, as I only used a couple demo copies of Window-Eyes and that was way before the Microsoft collaboration was even dreamed up. Speaking of which, I think Microsoft made the right decision to offer Window-Eyes for free. I also used JAWS for DOS back in the day and then JFW, and while the price tag is rather high I really liked both. Serotek and the NV Access Foundation have done amazing work, and so has Apple. My parents got me a MacBook Air just after Christmas in 2013, and that was my first exposure to VoiceOver. I can’t believe that some people are still downplaying Apple’s commitment to accessibility. Obviously VO does things a bit differently than the other screen readers, but that’s to be expected. I for one really like VoiceOver, and I have definitely seen the bugs being squashed. I recently talked with my parents at a meeting about exchanging my basic cell phone for a smartphone. It seems like I’ll have some pretty good options.
