Tom, yes thanks for the information.  Info always helps some.  I am looking
forward to playing with Scott's package, but I have no doubt that some of
the applications will be well worth the small investment.

Alan:

I initially purchased Scott's software package way back around 2000, as I
was trying to acquire logging software that would work well with the Windows
operating system.

Although some of his software has occasional issues with Jaws, I have found
it to work rather well for the most part.

Scott clearly admits he is not familiar with Jaws and other speech screen
reading software, but he has always been willing to try to figure out
answers to access issues we might be having.

Given Scott's interest in making his software accessible, and the cost of
the complete software package with all of the software that is included, I
can't imagine how you could go wrong by giving it a try.

As an additional side note, Scott most recently worked extensively with
Kelvin (M0AID) from this list to make the latest updates of his software
more accessible with some of the most-used speech screen readers out there.
You also may recall that Kelvin has developed the active elements web site
which is dedicated to improving access for blind amateur radio operators.

I hope this helps at least a little.

I am ordering the CD-rom containing all of N3FJP's software.  Before I do, I
wonder if anyone has had dealings with Scott, the owner.  I am curious as to
how good the customer service and tech support is.  Any comments would be
appreciated.
