[nfbcs] Speech with supplemental large print

[Tracy Carcione]

Yes, my husband and I are both using Jaws.
He looked at both Mabic and Zoomtext, but they both seem like they're
magnification, with a bit of speech.  He really needs the
opposite--speech, with magnification sometimes.

Maybe the manugacturers figure that people who can use magnification will
use it until the bitter end, then switch completely to speech.  And maybe
that's how it is; I don't know.
I just think it would be very useful for my husband to have some
magnification, but he needs a robust speech package, too.
