Re: Freedom Scientific's Lack of Support for Hardware

There are computers coming out today with a voice program similar to JFW for
the sighted world.  I heard advertisements for a program that is voice
activated just like the software used for those who can't use a keyboard but
can talk into a mike.  Did you know that many of the spelling games for
children were taken from technology used for screen readers?  I heard this
many years ago but it is still shocking how one nitch industry capitolizes
on the technology for a product from a totally unrelated field.
