You can try demos of JAWS by Freedom Scientific and windoweyes by GWMicro. And there is the free NVDA screen reader.

But then I | realized that every Mac has VoiceOver built-in, and it's quite nice! | I've been going through my web pages with VoiceOver, and I've found a | number of minor issues that I'll be correcting. | | But I'd hate to fine-tune my pages to VoiceOver's quirks only, without | knowing about similar quirks in other software. In particular, what do | Windows users typically use to browse the web? I see that Narrator is | built-in to Windows, but it's almost unusable. Even Narrator itself | recommends users buy a third-party program instead. | | So, if I were to purchase one such third-party program for the purpose | of testing my website's accessibility under Windows, which program | should it be? | | Thanks! | David | | --- | Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org | If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org. | You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at | http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org. | All messages are archived and can be searched and read at | http://www.mail-archive.com/gamers@audyssey.org. | If you have any questions or concerns regarding the management of the list, | please send E-mail to gamers-ow...@audyssey.org. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
