Hi, I installed this screen reader and although it did run, it was a strange experience. I thought I'd uninstall it and install it later when I had a little more time to evaluate it, but couldn't get rid of the voice on startup, finally resorted to system restore to get rid of the voice at logon.

Hi. I've ran this screenreader and haven't had any issues with it. They don't seem to have their own TTS! For example Realspeak or Eloquence. The Microsoft Anna voice is difficult to understand at times. There is no option to use Sapi 4 or any other speech engine. -----Original Message----- From: Aedan O'Meara Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 12:02 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: New Screen reader? Hi Ari, I tried out this program and it crashes on startup. The installation appeared to go ok. Also the link to documents on their web site cannot find the page! I found the help.rtf file in their installation folder under c:\users\username\appdata\local\opti-guide\help.rtf This is a very comprehensive document and looks very impressive. It claims compatibility with Vista and win7. But not on my machine! It stops working on the instant of opening.

Hi everyone Since I'm crossposting, may I also add to my friends in America that I hope you are all keeping safe and doing ok with the hurricane. Now my question is, I'm curious, but I never knew about this apparrently new screen reader until hearing about it on another list yesterday. Have I been out of the loop, how long has this existed? Has anyone heard of this product? Could this be competition for jaws etc, especially if it might be developed further (the site doesn't make this point clear). Is it good? http://www.utechaccess.com/products/optiguide/ Thanks Ari ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
