I'm not against any company making money. However, I think that sometimes, when

That's why I said what I did. There are going to be
Hi Guys.
I have called this number twice, and it is wonderful. They do ask if you're
running accessibility options because those who are not should not be calling
that number. But for us, it is great. You don't get transferred, and you go to
where you would have been in first place before.
There's one called the EyePal solo which is made by the same company but it's a
standalone machine. The spec is pretty poor though and it's accessories are
very expensive. It's worth avoiding in my view unless you have some
extenuating sircomstance.

Well, window-eyes actually supports a lot more than apple does, but apple for
sure supports all of the modern ones. Except that they are footdragging on the

You can use Itumes on Windows but I personally hate it with jaws.
Just sync your iphone in Itunes and everything should be copied over.
Just remember to use f6 to explore the sources as I think it's a tree. I only

I had to buy a new Braille display when I got my Mac Mini, because I couldn't
use my Braille Lite 40.
I much prefer 40-cell displays, and as far as I'm aware, the Focus 40 Blue is
the least expensive of those by far. Most run around at least $5000 US.

Oh, by the way, I don't find the focus 40 Blue cumbersome at all to carry

I think this conflicts with voiceover which grabs anything with a
