[Trainer-talk] Guide Hands Free

[Julie A Adkins]

They do still have Guide Hands Free, but it sure is expensive (unless this person is a veteran).  If someone can learn to type, I just prefer Guide with a keyboard.  Guide is currently on version 9 and is drastically better than version 5.  Of course nothing is really going to be supported on Windows XP. If he does not like dealing with EVAS, he can try dealing with a local vendor, but really EVAS is the U.S. retailer and who we are stuck with for tech support. 

The only program that is similar to Guide that I am aware of is CDesk. I tried it out two or three years ago but still prefer Guide.
