Hi Graham,

NVDA works great on a pen drive and of course there are no video drivers to 
be installed. It also now has its own built in speech and one of the voices 
has a scottish accent which brings a smile to my face when I hear it.

Cheers Tom.

Hi Tom.

I have not tried Non-visual desktop on a pen drive though have installed it
on a laptop I have.

I must say that so far it does seem to me the best of the free screenreading
products, and at version 0.5 it is still very much a development release.
The voice is a little bit odd, but if it can really be run directly from a
pen drive in a similar way to system access, this is interesting.

Regards

graham

SATOGO AND INTERNET CAFEHi Graham,

This web based screen reader has great possibilities, and once the beta
phase is over and it's stable, then i'm sure my son will look at it again.

It doesn't affect me in any way as I am still able to use my pen drive with
Window Eyes on it to access some of the computers, plus he also has the open
source screen reader N V D A on a pen drive available for any customers who
may need speech.

Cheers Tom.

  Hi Tom.

  I would certainly agree with this.  Of course, you would need to go to the
web and download an executable each time you restart the PC.

  So, it's great for individuals to use at home or in the work environment,
particularly if they need to work on a number of machines, e.g. providing
technical support.  If Seratec, forgive possible misspelling, market this as
for use in public libraries, internet cafes and the like, they will I
believe be seriously misleading people.

  Regards

  Graham

    My son runs his own internet cafe but he won't allow the use of this
screen reader as it downloads an .exe file onto the computer.
    I doubt any internet cafe owner will take the risk as it could open
their entire computer network to a virus attack.

    Cheers Tom.
