For small groups who can live with a bit of a loss in productivity the
demo version of JAWS will run for 40 min intervals for a period of one
year, then you have to down load a new copy. The biggest pain is that
you have to reboot after 40 mins if you wish to continue testing.
However if your organization is medium to large in size, purchasing a
full blown version of assistive technology products should be a normal
cost of doing business. After all, compared to the price of Dreamweaver
Studio, Adobe Creative Suite and other assorted hardware and software
that many development groups use, < $1000 US for a full blown screen
reader to add to the testing lab seems like a reasonable business
expense.
