Hi Ray,

I am surprised at that.  Urge is quite popular in some circles.  I haven't
used it myself.

All the best

Interesting post Steve, not least because I've not heard of URGE online

Serotek Announces Vista-Ready Product Line



Assistive Technology Products Work With Vista

For Accessibility Right Out of the Box



Las Vegas, Nev. - January 11, 2007 - Serotek Corporation, the leading
provider of Internet and digital information accessibility software and
systems, today announced that its entire product line, including FreedomBox
and Key to Freedom with System Access software, is now integrated with
Microsoft Windows Vista and available for download. The announcement was
made at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), an invitation-only technology
trade event taking place this week in Las Vegas.

This is not a beta; any current FreedomBox user or anyone with Vista can
download the software from the company's web site www.freedombox.info
<http://www.freedombox.info/> .

Blind and visually impaired Information Technology managers who are testing
Vista for their organizations can now use Serotek's Key to Freedom to
conduct the testing. Key to Freedom features Fonix DECtalk text-to-speech
(TTS). Fonix DECtalk "speaks" screen content to the user in clear,
understandable TTS voices in multiple languages.

"Accessibility is not an option, it's a commitment," said Daniel Hubbell,
Technical Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation, "With the release of Windows
Vista compatible products, Serotek continues to make the computer accessible
for users of all abilities. And with the integration of media support, these
products will help set a new baseline for the industry as a whole."

As part of its 'Vista-ready' rollout, Serotek will be working with Windows
Media Player11 and the new URGE online music store. This allows the blind
and visually impaired to use portable MP3 Players to participate in the
legal downloading of online music for the first time without buying
customized computer scripts.

Serotek products also work with Windows Vista Media Center and the new Aero
Glass interface for electronic mail, right out of the box, without requiring
settings changes or software installations required by other screen readers.

"When we say we work with Vista, we mean across the board - remote control
and all," said Mike Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation, "so the blind can use
the electronic program guide on cable television and record programs just
like the mainstream using Windows Media Center."
