Another variant for that survey should be: Did you, or someone else pay for your screen reader?? I've used Jaws in demo mode (for 40 minutes before restarting the computer) for a few months. I've used Connect OutLoud in demo mode that talks for 9 minutes and sleeps for 1 minute, but it works only with a few applications. I've noticed that they are interested in the blind community all around the world, that's why I made this comment.

I expect some of you might want to tell them the same thing I just told them about paying for screen readers. Such quaint ideas.

Hello: I'm trying to get an idea how many screen readers are payed for by their owners and how many are payed for by someone else.. This is a marketing research project for myself but I'm sure many of us would be interested in this information as well. I have an idea that the overwhelming number of screen readers are payed for by some governmental agency but I've never seen any quantitative data on this. I'm really only interested in the screen reader that we use right now as our primary tool and perhaps another that we use for specific applications. I myself use Vocal Eyes, Jaws, and Window Eyes. I payed for Window Eyes myself which I use most often and some governmental agency payed for the other two. Please feel free to respond by email but for the sake of anonymity I've set up a web site with a form to complete. It's very short, having only four radio controls and three edit boxes.
