IBM had something similar about 10 or 12 years ago, but it was pricey
for what it did, and the increasing facility of screenreaders on The Web
soon made it a dinosaur.

It was called Connect Out Loud.  They didn't do anything with it after
JAWS
4.0.  I never understood that either as it would have been a great
product
for people such as the elderly.  Guess they didn't see it that way.

Didn't freedom used to have product based on JAWS it sold for $200.00
years
ago? It worked with web applications.  They don't sell it anymore, but
not
sure why.
I also don't remember what the product was called. If anyone remembers,
I'd
love to have my memory jogged.

I'm not expecting any big turn-outs here either. I just wanted to let
people
know that the petition is here. I'm not the one who wrote it.

I could upgrade to a Mac, get thunderbird or SATOGO if I wanted to cheap

                Not to be a party pooper, but there is an old saying you
get
what you pay for.  know Jaws is a bit pricy, but if you really want a
free
screen reader thunder and NVDA are fine or just upgrade to a Mac.  Jaws
is
pricy but a lite version would likely be as cutrate as itet.  I don't
think
I'd be interest in a substandard jaws.
