To the people in this thread.

Good day.

I'm totally blind and I study Chinese, mainly Mandarin.  I know that there 
is a free Chinese screen reader, called "Windows Light", which can be 
downloaded from Retina Hong Kong.
http://www.retina.org.hk/wlight.htm

When I access their page, I could find the screen reader for Cantonese only; 
there are also links for the Mandarin version, but the page can't be found.
I downloaded the Cantonese version, since I study Cantonese, too, but my 
Cantonese knowledge is very short.
I wrote to them in English to tell them about the problem, but it hasn't 
been fixed.  Nor did I receive a reply.

Should I install it?
Can I run that version and switch to Mandarin?
I think probably not.  That's why I haven't installed it so far.
Do you know from where I can safely download the Mandarin version?

Thanks.

Sorry that this question is off list, but I don't know where to ask and it 
might be interesting for people in my same situation.
