Brian,
I looked at both Mobile Speak and Talks about 18 months ago.
I think you are correct that it is just like Jaws and Window Eyes.
I went with Mobile Speak because at the time it was more
configurable. I have never regretted my choice.
It would be best to download a 30 day trial package from both and
give them a try to see which you like.
Max.
