There are free screen readers out there and they're improving all the time.
FS might have to have a free version of Jaws to keep up.

Cheers.

It might happen.  They eventually released JAWS for DOS as freeware.  Of
course, that was just about what it was worth, and most folks had switched
by then, but they released it.

Hello Listers,

         

        SIGN THE JAWSLITE PETITION!!

        This is a petition for a version of jaws, from Freedom Scientific,
called "jawslite", to be made as a free download and to include basic screen
reading capabilities to make for a lite screen reader when a full version of
Jaws is not required. It should also be made to run on a memory stick, or
thum drive, for use on the fly with out the need to install the "Jaws Video
Intersept" on the host PC. The intersept may however be installed on the
memory stick or thumb drive.

         

         

        To sign the petition, go to

        http://www.bavis.co.uk/jawslite/
