--- "Read-e can read aloud windows components, just by passing your mouse

world that can do this"
eh? This is a basic function of all screenreaders. TextHelp does it.
Microsoft even has a free basic screenreader that does this.

Subject: New software Beta trials
Dear all,
I'm looking for both formal and informal participants to take part in the
Beta trials of a new accessibility/literacy support tool, which I hope will
be of great use to many on thhis forum.
Individuals or institutions that want to try Read-e can visit our site
(http://www.read-e.com) and download it (aprox 20Mb so dial-up users could
have a long wait, but it should be worth it). Institutes that will be taking
part more formally can request CDs by emailing me directly (off forum of
course) using the contact page, although we ask that you download it if
possible.
Please also pass this on to anyone you think might be interested.
Participans we receive free licenses for you participation.
Best wishes,
Phil Teare,
Owner, Atificial Relevance

Subject: stroke
Apologies for cross-posting.
Last week, I met a mature student at another university who is a stroke
survivor. He is very interested in making contact with other students in the
same position, for mutual support (re aphasia, memory loss, lecturer
awareness etc).
If any NADO members are aware of such students, please seek their
permission to send me their contact details so that I can pass them on.
Many thanks,
David
