Greetings Fellow Listers,

I need some advice / guidance on screen readers.  I have a dear friend of
many years who has become totally blind due to RP.  I am a low vision
computer user who uses various tools to get through the day, including
different screen readers.  But if I get into trouble, I can cheat and use
magnification to get by a problem.  Dave does not have this option
obviously.  He asked me what the best screen reader is for a totally blind
user.  Does anyone know of a definitive comparison of screen readers is on
the net?  (Optimally, it would be written by totally blind, experienced
computer users.)  That I can point him to?  I'd prefer the comparison to be
non - biased, i. e. written by a company that will help select the best
tool for him to live with.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Phillip D. Reed
