[nvda] Re: nvda Tutorial

On Friday I am giving a speech as part of a seminar on Disability Awareness 
Month.  I will be using NVDA as a demonstration of what a screen reader can do 
for the blind, and talking about basic web accessibility.   I will provide the 
NVDA Project web address to this group (I do not even know how many are 
attending) and encourage them to try it out, thought most of them will be fully 
sighted.

It was the first I had heard of I mean a screen reader about a year or so ago 
from the magnifiers.org website and have stayed with it ever since.  To get a 
cheap pc say 200 bucks with xp and a free screen reader fits a lot of people on 
low budgets..  for one of my members I sat down and talked into a note taker 
and recorded steps of how to use it in windows, navigation, email etc as I 
would step by step for her to listen too.  she got the basics and what was 
needed and can do it by her self as well.  I also done it in txt  as well 
either one would be good exspecially the audio one say in mpe for it plays in 
most pc as well

I don't think many have ever heard of free screenreaders for Windows.
Sigh.

Well, there's no reason why they cannot put it on there. But I for one
am glad you posted this to the list. It says the same thing I have been
saying in blogs, podcasts, and on my website for some time now. The
agency stigma still holds unfortunately. It's been a hard uphill climb
for anything who dared to be different than JFW, W E, or Hal. It's
about high time the blindness agency and professional world take a hard
look and give NVDA and related services a chance to serve their
clients; especially, if the price is low cost or even free.
And this is yet another grip in the gear for those who are though
unpaid monitarily speaking, are developing NVDA into being one of the
most stable screen reading solutions out there today.
End of editorial!
Be blessed,
Tony
