Richard,
Iuse dolphin's supernova, relying on voice only.
II also appreciate html's navigability in being able to go easily to the
next or previous items as well as the availability of the contents; its a
good way to get through a short magazine quickly. My problem arises if I'm
trying to extract the nuances from a difficult paragraph containing, say
foreign names....
Because my hearing is deteriorating, I need to go back over the odd phrase
and this is easier if I use the text version, which also enables me to
search and get quickly to whatever I'm looking for. I suspect we need both
versions.
Hope this makes sense.
Best wishes,
Huw.

Huw, Which screenreader are you using? Certainly html is my preferred
option with JAWS, simply because of its navigability.

Derek and List,
WHILE your comment is valid, it does seem unusually defeatist.
I believe we should continue pressing for a service which meets our needs -
(or someone will decide decide that we will be leaner and fitter by giving
up cake altogether) . While NOT EXACTLY HOLDING MY BREATH, I'M JUST WAITING
TO SEE HOU OUR QUESTIONNAIR RESPONSES ARE INTERPRETED AND WHAT ACTION (IF
ANY) FOLLOWS.
READING HAS BECOME MORE TEDIOUS AND INEFFICIENT AND CONSEQUENTLY less
productive.
I cannot understand why HTML is recommended by rnibsollutions and I wonder
whether sighted rreaders grasp my particular problem. As my screenreader
only reads one line at a time, it can sometimes be difficult to understand a
complicated paragraph, especially as my hearing is deteriorating and I may
wish to check specific words. (Is this a common problem or is my
screenreader particularly inefficient?) Best wishes, Huw.

Well while I don't like the changes,
lets not forget RNIB could have closed down the service.
So isn't half a cake better than no cake!

well I'm flatout out not happy about the take over, the changes, the way
it's been handled and I'm pretty sure I won't be renewing my subscription
next year. Well done RNIB.
Oh and rather than just have us fill out a survey, why not just read the
hundreds, if not thousands of complaints, read this list and fix the massive
mess you made.
it's such a shame to see such a useful and well loved service be lost but
I'll bet in a few years, this won't exist anymore.

Hi all
It is now a month since some of us completed the survey. I have seen no
resulting response from NIB. Nor are we getting weekly updates any more. Is
this in the hope that the list will die from inertia? If so, it is working
very well, as the list is now very quiet.
If this is because everyone is now happy with the product this would be
great, but I would be surprised were this to be the case.
I have to say that some messages, on this and other lists, are not reaching
me for some reason, so if I have missed any response then I apologise.
All the best
Gareth
