Thanks David - I had not come across that page. At the top it explains the speech options. If you run only ZoomText, you still have AppReader and DocReader. However, if you run Fusion, you can use JAWS instead of AppReader and DocReader.

So it looks as if it is sufficient to test with JAWS and ZoomText separately, unless anyone has any experiences to the contrary.

Hi Steve:
I found the following page that might answer your questions.
https://www.zoomtext.com/fusion-info-en/
It seems that you have a choice of using ZoomText, Zoomtext fusion or Jaws. Each has its own shortcut.
You can also specify Speech, Speech on demand or Silent modes.
Toward the end of the document there is a heading covering zoomtext features not available in Fusion.
HTH

Subject: [WebAIM] Fusion vs JAWS and ZoomText

Does anyone have any insight into the behaviour of Fusion compared with JAWS and ZoomText? In particular, I am interested in any differences that might be relevant when doing an expert review or user testing. If Fusion is significantly different, there's a case for testing with it in addition to JAWS and ZoomText, but just how different is it?
