Hi Donna, It sounds like you could get by without braille support since you don't need it to drive the application as some of my clients would. As soon as you save your scanned document as a text file your access is complete for your purposes. I'm happy enough with this arrangement myself but for some of my clients it's no option.
Keysrokes, OK, to start reading press the letter E. To speed up the voice on the fly press shift Q. To slow down the speech on the fly press shift Z. I just can't find a good cognitive way to teach this to my clients.
