Folks,

I want to thank all of those who sent me suggestions for the workstation. I
have not been told what my budget limit is, but they have accepted all of my
suggestions. So, I'm going to keep pushing my luck and see if I can get a few
more products on the machine for other types of disabilities.

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.
