Some of you may have come across this software but I think it is interesting and maybe useful for some to look at if you haven’t seen it before. There is a 14 day trial version you can download from:
http://rjcooper.com/thunder-rj/
Description from website:
A portable and simple, but powerful screen reader, that is tailored for blind persons (and LD/early readers) that may be new to using a computer, or need a simpler, less expensive alternative to more costly (and comprehensive) programs available. Works almost entirely by the standard keyboard navigation controls, the arrow keys! Also...
Echoes each keystroke and word
Selective reading of screen by character, word, line, or entire page
Selective reading of menus
Reading of dialog boxes and buttons
And more!
All this using, mostly, the arrow keys.
Works in: Microsoft Word, WordPad, Notepad, Desktop, Explorer, My Computer, Outlook and Outlook Express, Excel, and even has its own web browser that breaks up complex web pages into sequential links and lines of text that you can go through with the arrow keys.
Regards,
