Does anyone know if IBM Home Page Reader is very
> widely used?
The numbers are quite low compared to Jaws, but the numbers are rising. In
general, Home Page Reader (HPR) handles Web pages better than Jaws, in my
opinion. The drawback of HPR is that it is only for Web content, so people
who use it would have to switch between their main screen reader and HPR. I
don't have any exact numbers of usage statistics, but HPR is _definitely_
something that I would want to have in a lab.
