I hope they are going to offer a demo version, perhaps one that runs for =
15 mins per run or something like jaws does in demo mode, as i will not =
buy another reading program without a good and real world test run, as =
other packages have been unusable even with all the nice little fluffy =
reviews., also besides profit, whys the ap so expensive. it would find =
many more users if the price were cheaper, and they can=92t claim =
proprietary hardware, when it is all as mainstream asyoucan get.
