There is a very low priced screen reader called Simply Talker. The program
sells for $50 to $100, depending on the version. I don't have their site but
you should be able to find it using Google or one of the other search
engines.

called Connect Out Loud which is very good for IE, Outlook Express, and word
processing.  I think it runs under $300.  Check the Freedom Scientific
website at www.freedomscientific.com.

Are any of you aware where they can get such a shareware program, or where
people sell old Jaws or WindowEyes programs cheap?  Thanks.  Kathie
