Been on that mailing list for months now, and I think I mentioned this training thing a couple of weeks ago already.
Was basically just posting this info on the blind-computing list since I was looking for info specific to another product, and also as a sort of more general (not specifically linked to any specific software package) notification that I'd now sort of officially be moving (literally) into blind-computing (training). However, no lies, I'll definitely be 'marketing' NVDA to these guys, especially since it can, for example, speak Afrikaans this side.

May I invite you to join the NVDA list? If you take this offer, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word subscribe in the subject line. Finally, reply to the confirmation message, and you'll join the hundreds and thousands who admire the work and talents these programmers have into producing NVDA, which, so far, is a pretty darn good screen reader despite it being free. Enjoy!

Will definitely be making sure the involved guys know about stuff like Thunder, NVDA etc. etc. Apparently the one person just already has this Dual stuff, and FWIW, as a programmer I basically use Jaws since some of the development environments I work in need the video intercept functionality, but I'll definitely also be testing out the free screenreaders with the course material etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 9:49 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Dual screenreader/magnifier software Jacob, this is what I can't understand about Sensory Software. They don't produce demos for *any* software they produce, Dual being no exception. I'm sorry that you can't try it out for yourself, but I am wondering, however, whether Thunder could be at least an alternative? I've never tried Lookout myself, but I believe they're quite similar to each other, except that Thunder is free for the majority of us, whilst Lookout you have to pay a slightly expensive price (£105 here in the UK). Sorry about that mate, but good luck with your course anyway.

Secondly, the reason for this is that I'm starting going through the MS Office certification course with a local organisation that specifically trains blind/disabled people, and then does whatever to try help them get jobs etc. While this specific course isn't really anything I would have considered in the past since I've basically always been into programming, I'm actually going to be doing this one from both sides, which means that I'll also be involved in helping to instruct/help out the other people who'll be there at the same time, and if this all goes well, then I may even be becoming one of their instructors/trainers. Anyway, of the people who'll be involved in this specific instance, some of them (like me) will be using Jaws, but apparently there's at least one specific person who'll be using the Dual screenreader/magnifier software, which is made by a company called Sensory Software, but although I've found a website for them, manuals/tutorials etc., I haven't found any place to download a demo as such, so I was just wondering if there was in fact such an instance of this software?
