I guess I wonder why a sighted user (like me) wouldn't just use NVDA instead
of this kind of utility (thank you for correcting me there)? That is what I
meant by my comment, as it is still important to try and make your site
accessible (I see it as an all encompassing issue not just for one set of
users). I think I will contact them to ask about more details on what code
has to be there...that may answer my questions about it.

Cheers
