My first visit to an Apple store, the guy said "what over? Voice what? Oh, you mean that speech synthesizer program? we don't have that." When I showed him VoiceOver, instead of being helpful, he became defensive; "Well how'm I supposed to know about that? no one's ever used it before." I'm not sure that buying Jaws or VocalEyes off the shelf is an answer, but it would certainly be better than having a go-between decide what we need. Having said that, I believe it was blind people who told MicroSoft that they didn't want Narrator developed as a usable screen-reader built into windows, "Because we need someone like FS to give us what we really need." I believe it was the NFB who discouraged MS from developing its equivalent of VoiceOver.
