Hi Mark,

Here are some additional products that are used here at Colorado State University to access the web:
WYNN 3.0 (http://www.freedomscientific.com/WYNN/index.asp) is the "latest and the greatest" for folks with cognitive / reading disabilities- this latest version has much improved web capabilities.

TextHelp's Read and Write (http://www.texthelp.com) also is used on campus quite a bit.

ReadPlease and HELPread - We also have quite a few students with text disabilities who use the freebies- these will literally only take the text off the site. ReadPlease is at http://readplease.com; HELPread is http://helpread.net.

For users that need voice browsing, you might want to include a copy of Dragon - this sure points out the need for clear links! Most of our users with high level performance needs use the professional versions. http://www.lhsl.com/naturallyspeaking/pro/

Don't know what the budget is for your testing machine, but having AT that is used by folks with varied disabilities might help.

Best Regards,
Cath
