Text Aloud is not a screenreader buut a text2audio program that will
read aloud text files or convert them to audio.
Another free alternative for screen access is Nonvisual Desktop
Access (nvda) from
http://www.nvaccess.org/nvda/
This is alpha software still though.
With aner, I think the best you can do is download a demo/copy and
just try them for yourself to seeif they meet your needs and expectations.
