It also seems to provide some magnification functions, which also makes it
similar to Windows Magnifyer, ZoomText, or Magic. And like many of these
products, it can do both speech and magnification at once.
The least expensive commercial product that I would consider to be in the
screen reader class is Connect OutLoud from FreedomScientific.com, albeit
limited to Outlook, Internet Explorer, and a handful of Windows programs. It
sells for around $250.00 in the US.
There was another very inexpensive screen reader called Simply Talker, but I
haven't heard about it for a couple of years now. A Google search might turn
up archives or the latest update.

Hi Terri and all,
Joe said it quite well. It reads but does not provide real screen reader
functionality.

Hello David, What do you mean by an"aural output software?" Can you explain?
I see your posts all the time and value your opinion on such things. What
are the primary limitations of this software?

I would call this an aural output software package.

Free Screen Reader
This is a cool screen reader, the download version is a free version and
works great. Even if you purchase it, it is a great deal. With similar
programs costing over $900, for $80.00 this becomes a deal. But with the
free download, for some, it will be an amazing deal.
