Why not look at using the portable version of the NVDA screen reader?
This
can run off a normal USB pen. NVDA is free and unlike Jaws does not use
Video intercept drivers. This means it can work straight off the pen on
any windows machine with XP, or later, without needing to install any
software. If there are PCs where you are going this could be a solution.
The keystrokes are 95% compatible with Jaws and a autorun.inf file can be
downloaded and put on your pen which will put NVDA as the first option of
a
autorun dialogue box. In other words pressing enter is normally all you
have
to do to start NVDA.
Regards
David Griffith

hello members.
i go on holiday a few times a year and one of the hotels i stay at now has
wi fi.
therefore i am looking for a portable device that has jaws or system
access
to connect to the hotel's internet service.
i know a lap top is capable of doing this but they can be rather heavy to
carry while using a white cane.
so i am looking for something else.
a lap top will do if nothing else is available
i would like an i pod but not found any with talking software for menu's
and
field data entry such as field for credit card details using online
shopping.
is there such an i pod around that will suit my needs?
if not can someone recommend a portable machine that will serve the
requirements.
i am looking to buy one so if someone has such an item they can email me
offline.
failing that can anyone tell me where i may obtain this item?
it is essential that it has wi fi, and a screen reader jaws or system
access.
but above all else it does need to have voice on menu structure.
thank you
Yvonne

The XP Home drivers should work fine with XP Pro. We also have a
ThinkPad
and it is wonderful.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Installing IBM Think Pad Drivers.
Hi list, we just installed Windows on our laptop computer "Windows Pro."
This laptop is an IBM Think/pad and we need to install drivers for it.
We have a copy of the drivers, but, we think that they are for Windows
XP
home instead of Pro.
Is there a difference and if so, how can we find an accessible site to
find the drivers.
We are using Jaws 7.00 and System Access.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kim Kelly
