Hi Steve: I didn't read that statement about using another screen reader, but I may have just missed it. If they actually said that, then, I agree with you, that statement is out of line. But it is ironic that in the questions about which screen readers people use, Window-eyes is one of the choices. So they do seem to recognize Window-eyes as a viable choice, despite their introductory remarks. Kevin Huber
