Hi,

My spouse is a librarian at a community college. They are updating their pubic computers and want to make sure they have appropriate software (including the preferred versions) on them for the visually impaired. They are familiar with MAGic and Jaws. They want to know if those two are still considered the top ones / most used, if there are others they should replace either of those with, and if there are other applications they should consider adding.

Basically, they are looking for a list of what to install from people who know and use the software so that they have what is important to any visually impaired users who use the library's computers.

Thanks in advance!
