This is a response to Bill if the finger reader is not for you than
don't buy it but don't cast it out if you have not tried it. There is
not one solution for every problem or for every situation. Many blind
people do use more than one screen reader because one does not read
everything. Each one has it's own strengths and weaknesses and so does
scanning reading devices. the opticon is not for me but there are users
that love it. Braille is still a very usful and very viable tool for
certain situations it does not need any power and is always there and
available sodon't toss out braille either it makes us blind people
literate and don't forget about braille displays I have never used one
but I would be interested in using one if I had the chance to do so.
What is junk to you might be the greatest treasure to somone else. We
all have our own opinions about what works best for each of us. I use
nvda for my screen reader but I have friends who like jaws. I will
always advocate and use braille when and whear ever possable. I don't
have an iphone or any other idevice as I don't have any intrest in them
but if I had the chance to try them then I might like them.
