Interesting. I actually wonder how much longer these expensive screen
readers will be produced. For Windows, NVDA has come a long way and can
easily serve as someone's every day screen reader. System access also
works very well, that's what I use at work. And, on the mac, voiceover
is a great screen reader. There's simply hardly any reason to
continuously pay for expensive updates for these products, or to pay
around $1000 to purchase them initially.
