Personally, I think this article is comparing apples to oranges.  I still
can't understand why people compare products like Text-Aloud,
Text-to-Audio, and WordAloud to screen readers -- these are two completely
different kinds of applications with vastly differing audiences, though it
is true that there may be some overlap, the products mentioned in this
article simply won't work as substitutes for JAWS, Window-Eyes, etc.  On
the other hand, giving a full-blown screen reader to a person to use simply
for reading text, when they have no visual disability is also not something
that many would recommend.
