Hi Eamonn, You could suggest your colleague try Thunder, available from www.screenreader.net/ Regards, Stuart. From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of eoconnor@xxxxxxx Sent: 02 April 2008 16:22 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] low cost or free screen reader - query Hi folks, A colleague, who is fully sighted, but dyslexic, was wondering about free or low cost screen readers.# He bought a new laptop running Vista, and now finds that some of his XP based software no longer runs. I think he had been using some kind of screen reader, but don't know what. I thought of SA TO GO, But don't know if you need to be online in order to use it? I suppose narator is another possibility, if you don't mind being put to sleep! Any advice welcome.
