well we have got one, it’s called NVDA, and it’s free, and after this sherade with the new windows update, i won’t be spending any more money on any of the screen readers, that you have to take a second mortgage for, that’s my 2 pence worth.

Go pay a thousand dollars for a screen reader, and then you have to use a freeware one to get things installed. No, guys, this time I am not here to complain, simply just think it to be a smiler. One thing the makers of the paid-for screen readers now aday may want to consider, is if it would not have been an idea to have a somehow light version of the screen reader, that would kick in when installing things. Let us have all the jingles and bells, when we need it, but let us have a screen reader that helps us out when all we need is speech. To tell the user to go and get another screen reader, so as to have their paid-for product up running; well, to a less trained new user, may seem not just strange, but directly get them worried. Just thought to throw the idea on the board, even if we have had it there before. But relying on the amount of messages seen on the list the last few days, in this regard, tells me something might be wanted to be a bit more smooth running in the future. BTW, has NVDA been translated into all the languages supported by Jaws and Window-Eyes? Or, would we end up with a user in a foreign language, having to pay for his screen reader in his language, but use a non-translated version of NVDA for his installation tweaking? That at least, from many years of training non-English users, I could say would throw a multitude off the wagon.
