The next release of Apple's operating system (OS 10.4 Tiger) will
include VoiceOver, a full-featured screen reader. The really good news
is that VoiceOver will be free (i.e., since it's integrated into the OS,
it will be standard on new Macs; otherwise, it will be available for
purchase as part of an OS upgrade).
