Thanks Steve, Will do. I didn't see any info on that on the site, but perhaps now I know what I'm looking for I'll stand a better chance at finding it. Hmm, renting a screen reader - interesting thought - especially with restrictions on licensing, but then again the pen drive versions get around that. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

If you want continuous, you want to check out their lease to own program. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hussein Patwa Sent: Sunday 31 January 2010 11:48 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Accessibilty and the iPad: First Impressions | ATMac Hi, True. Mind you, the topic didn't half stir up debate on here! I've just spent the last hour going through all the messages that have built up in my mailbox, and that's only since Friday! BTW, on a totally separate topic, do you know if GW Micro limit their paid 60-day evaluation to one per user? I.e, could you in theory pay $240 for a year's usage of Window Eyes, rather than the $895 up front? Obviously I'm assuming you'd have to do a complete uninstall and re-install if the evaluation uses some strange timer mechanism that sits in the registry, but would GW Micro accept the repeated payments for an evaluation extension? Also, does Window Eyes 7.0 support Windows 7 - note I ask about 7.0 and not 7.1.1. Thanks, and now back to our regular programming. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

It is all right to complain about overpricing, but how does one recoup costs for development? And if Microsoft built in a screen reader like Apple and it became the only choice, how sad that would be.

Hang on a second. You talk of over priced screen readers when you don't realize yet all they can do. Does voice over on the Mac or IPhone have scripting capability? NO! Do they have Braille support? no! (excepting grade one on the Mac). Also, you fail to take in to account the massive selection of screen readers on pc's. OK, jaws and window-eyes are the most common and at a higher price range, but System Access, NVDA and Narrator are either inexpensive or free, providing varying degrees of accessibility to windows and its applications. With the Mac and IPhone, you have the one screen reader take it or leave it, and to my mind if you've only one developer IE Apple who's primary concern isn't accessibility, you've got serious problems. FS and GW Micro spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and many man hours developing their products to meet the ever more growing and complex demands of their customers. Think what you like, but please don't fall over to promote apple and praise them as you would the lord just because they give you a built in screen reader. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lyn & Twinny" <keanemaniac@xxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 31, 2010 7:26 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Accessibilty and the iPad: First Impressions | ATMac > James & tony, > well said...no further comments to add after this.
