Do many people use NVDA? That one we could be possible, if people think it's
important. I've heard in the past that it isn't that popular. Not true?
As for Hal, I'll admit my ignorance: never heard of that one. If I'm reading
the docs online correctly, it's about 600 UK pounds. Unless folks think Hal
is more important than the other choices, I may put that one down farther on
the list. Before we dived in there, we might have to get in touch with the
publisher of that one to see how we plugin, or if we can, or if there's a
special license we have to pay. Then we'd have to buy it as well. Right now,
I think we have licenses at the school for windows eyes, jaws, and voice
over (which is free with OS X). We're open to purchasing more, though,
depending on where they'd fit in the development schedule and the consensus
amongst folks on how important it is.
I'll write down both though, in case we decide to tackle them.

I would like to include my vote for Orca. Also, for Windows, instead of any
of the commercial screen readers, why not push for NVDA support.
