Yes indeed, this subject always does bring on fierce suppporters of one screen reader or another, a bit like football supporters!
Still, I think Chrissie Cochrane and the team rought off a fair and balanced discussion on the programme. Issues of affordabbility and help, and support, the questions of large corporate operators vs. smaller enterprises was touched on and I think that's crucial in any propper discussion of this subject. This isn't the ideal forum for extending such discussion, but nor would a JFW, Dolphin or say, Humanware list be either. Trouble is that more general lists too are infected by politicos of one pursuasion or another ranging from folks who want everything for free to those who think the "market" is always right and seem to see high pricing as not simply unquestionable but as some sort of statement of corporate and sometimes individual, virility. We all know you pays your money... etc etc. Ray Vaughan Dodd wrote: Hi all. Why is it that this debate keeps coming up? I know that there is always the healthy "delete" key which saves me endless grief every time this debate comes up on the list. The fact is that we all use screen readers. We either like the ones we have or we don't. Because this is a Gw Micro operated list, why should we use its facilities to plug alternative products, or to say one is better than the other?
