True, but that's all the more reason for a speech only version. Why force
people to take the form factor plus the braille, when they can't afford
the price? I know braille is the only medium most European blind folk care
about, but I'm asking from the U.S. perspective.
Now, my second point -- What about the included speech? Is it truely
UXDOTS? If so, why? Speakup is free, and UXDOTS isn't. So, what's the
advantage to the user?
