Now that the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 is in full force, products
and services need to become accessible to disabled people - the new British
Standard will be a benchmark of accessibility. On this basis the screen
reader developers should be providing products that should fit in your
pocket so when you are at say the library you can just plug in your USB pen
drive and have access to their computers.

Hi, it would be wonderful if I can carry my screen reader in my pocket anywhere I go! I hope FS would consider this too. I rather carry my hard drive and the pen drive rather than the laptop.

Hi Ali I am not sure if there is a key drive version of Jaws, but I cannot see a technical reason why they could not use one. Maybe the dealers Jaws can advise on that. I know that designers and manufactures in the UK should be basing their new product designs and software updates on the new British Standards for Inclusive Technology. The Department of Trade and Industry have just funded a pilot project for management in Inclusive Design. This means that all products should be based on a "design for all" giving access for all. Dolphin are changing their products on this basis so that their products can be used at Internet Cafe's, schools, universities, institutes, offices and libraries with the aid of the pen drive.
