In 2008, the screen reader IBSAR by Sakhr Software (Kuwait) won the
World Summit Award:
<http://www.wsis-award.org/winner/ibsar-vision-blind-49820100624>;.
There is also a YouTube video that presents this screen reader:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLtiiJVX2vI>;.
However, I have not heard any news about this screen reader since then.
If you find out that it is still available, please notify this list.

Best regards,

Christophe
