Our blind users currently uses Jaws, but we have a serious problem when we try and find work for them because employers do not want to take the risk of splashing out on software for a new disabled employee. If we could use open source software we may be able to help a lot of people. Is there a program out there that can compare to Jaws in terms of stability and features? Where can I find out more? Our support guys are not familiar with open source - what can they do to gain more knowledge in order to support our users, should we decide to go the open source route. I'll really appreciate any help you can give me.
