There's a number of different screenreaders available for testing. Some are free, others have trial periods. I recently installed the demo version of JAWS under Virtual PC - it will run for 40 minutes, which gives you plenty of time to test a few sites. I would highly recommend it for everyone, even if you're not specifically concerned about accessibility. Here's some others: Window-Eyes (demo version): http://www.gwmicro.com/demo/index.php Simply Web 2000 (free): http://www.econointl.com/sw/ JAWS (demo version): http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_products/software_jaws.asp IBM Homepage reader (demo version): http://www-3.ibm.com/able/solution_offerings/hpr.html pwWebSpeak (free): http://www.soundlinks.com/pwgen.htm emacspeak (free, Linux): http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/ -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
