[Electronics-talk] free screen reader review in thebraile monitor

Sun May 5 15:10:10 UTC 2013

Think of this scenario,:
you need to make a presentation at a national convention, but wish to travel 
light and not take your laptop and drag it through the airport security, 
with the possibility of having it damaged, or the possibility of losing 
parts of it, and you want to use hotel's equipment which they provide.
it seems to me that NVDA is the solution because you can put it on a thumb 
drive and any computer will work.
I find it interesting that, for accessibility purposes Freedom Scientific 
doesn't let you put their paid screen reader on a thumb drive.
