Hello,

This is a repeat send of an email, in case you didn't receive it.

>Hello Garry,
>
>Should you just want to read text or web pages, you could try something
>a lot more simple to operate than Jaws, namely WordAloud.
>WordAloud has sticky keys built in, for shift and control, which is
>all you need to access all the WordAloud keyboard functions.
>However, the basic operation is just with the four cursor keys,
>for navigation within a document or page.
>
>If, on the other hand, you can't use a keyboard, but can use a mouse,
>WordAloud can be operated entirely by point and click.
>
>WordAloud has dual output modality as well as dual input modality.
>There is a word-at-a-time display which can be synchronised with speech.
>Indeed WordAloud was designed for Universal Access.
>
>You can download a free evaluation version from www.wordaloud.co.uk.
>The product price is modest.
>
>Clap by email to me or EASI, please!

Cheers,

John

>>   Using one handed keyboards and sticky keys

>>   Ctrl and Alt to be pressed or held down via a foot switch.
>>   Switch adapting a standard keyboard to provide a single button press

>>Any other ideas/suggestions  would be great.
