I agree that you should consider other types of access software such as
screen magnification. What about considering the new USB pen alternatives
available? Dolphin offers Super Nova (screen reader, screen magnifier and
braille support) on a USB pen that can be inserted in to any of the library
computers for immediate access. The cost is reasonable and the very nature
of the USB pen makes it flexible to meet the needs of the library. No need
for expensive licenses, etc. Also, Super Nova can be set to use JAWS
commands, making it versatile for users familiar with JAWS keyboard
commands.
