[gui-talk] Free screenreaders was RE: Thunder screen reader freefor ALL

[Josh]

Hi,

I am using thw window-eyes 30 or 40 minute demo and it works good and 
supports braille displays. Neither system access nor NVDA support braille at 
this time. If you like firefox, go with NVDA, it works great with firefox. 
System access to go does not work with firefox at all, and I am disappointed 
with this. It works great with internet explorer however and it even has a 
nice virtual mouse, graphics labeling and more. system access also has a 
nicer voice than NVDA does.
