Hi,
A couple of years ago, Pamtrad told me about this and asked me if I wanted a
job supporting it in the UK. Accordingly I tried installing it on my
computer. The result was that Jaws stopped working. I removed it, removed
Jaws as the removal and even restoring hadn't worked, but still Jaws would
not work. Video support had been majorly messed up. The only way even a
computer shop could find of fixing it was to reinstall Windows from scratch.
I have never before or since known an install that wasn't fixed by restoring
the system, but this wasn't. I would be very, very careful!
Cheers
Dave

Hello all,
I just want to tell you about an interesting new screen reader made by
German company Baum. It's called Cobra (I know, it's named after a
snake, hahaha). Joking aside, it contains lots of interesting and
inovative features, such as the ability to capture the screen and
perform on the fly OCR. No other screen reader I know does this. You can
download it, and try it as a 30 minute reboot situation from
www.baum.com. What's interesting though is that although a reboot is
necessary to run the 30 minute demonstraiton again, Cobra actually will
still speak, but will interrupt and remind you that the demo has
expired. Again no other screen reader does this.
Enjoy!
