I am very new to
this list, so I apologize in advance if this question has been previously
discussed. I did briefly check out the archive but had
some troubles navigating through it.
I had a call from a
librarian who is seeking advice about adaptive technology. She has budget for
only item, either a screen reader or a screen magnifier. She was wondering if it
was best to go with a magnifier since some of the newer versions include a
speech reader. Would this be the best solution to stretch her budget or are the
screen readers that come with magnifiers of less value than a dedicated screen
reader?
Thanks in
advance,
Elizabeth
