E A, Ian Francis and others,
Thank you again for pointing out my error and pointing me towards the latest
versions of Hal and ScreenReader. Unsurprisingly, I still think Read-e does
a better job of it, but they all seem to do similar things.
Hal seems to be more suited to visually impaired users. I hope Read-e will
be very useful to those with other forms of literacy difficulties (interest
declared).
May I ask for peoples opinions of both Hal and ScreenReader, as well as
other similar products (Microsoft compatible only), off forum of course.

Many thanks,
Phil Teare,
