[nabs-l] Screen reading software

[Johnston]

Hi Jennifer,
Yes, there are less expensive screen readers than JAWS.  Most would agree 
that JAWS is currently the best screen reader on the market, but Freedom 
Scientific is an evil empire, and does charge through the roof for all of 
their products.  I have heard that Window Eyes is a very, very good screen 
reader, and I would assume that it is less expensive.  I have heard that 
there are even free screen readers.  I don't know what open source is, but I 
heard of an open source screen reader that is free; maybe this is similar to 
public domain.
Good luck!
