Good evening Claudia,
What applications is your son going to need to use on this computer? The
applications will dictate which solution will be best. Keep in mind that
both JAWS and Window Eyes offer a trial mode that allows you to use their
product for a limited period of time before needing to reboot the system,
depending on how much time your son will be using the computer this may
be sufficient.
HTH,
Everett

Hi,
Is there a basic screen reader that I can use, with a new computer?
It's for my son, so I don't know that I need either a full-fledged
version of JFW or Window Eyes.
Will Connect Out Loud serve this purpose?
I am asking this because I was not able to install any screen reading
software on this new machine yet, and we're currently using Narrator, to
help him navigate.
The computer has Windows Vista Home!
Thanks.
Claudia
