No worries. Will definitely be making sure the involved guys know about stuff like Thunder, NVDA etc. etc. Apparently the one person just already has this Dual stuff, and FWIW, as a programmer I basically use Jaws since some of the development environments I work in need the video intercept functionality, but I'll definitely also be testing out the free screenreaders with the course material etc.

They don't produce demos for *any* software they produce, Dual being no exception. I'm sorry that you can't try it out for yourself, but I am wondering, however, whether Thunder could be at least an alternative? I've never tried Lookout myself, but I believe they're quite similar to each other, except that Thunder is free for the majority of us, whilst Lookout you have to pay a slightly expensive price (£105 here in the UK). Sorry about that mate, but good luck with your course anyway.

Secondly, the reason for this is that I'm starting going through the MS Office certification course with a local organisation that specifically trains blind/disabled people, and then does whatever to try help them get jobs etc. While this specific course isn't really anything I would have considered in the past since I've basically always been into programming, I'm actually going to be doing this one from both sides, which means that I'll also be involved in helping to instruct/help out the other people who'll be there at the same time, and if this all goes well, then I may even be becoming one of their instructors/trainers. Anyway, of the people who'll be involved in this specific instance, some of them (like me) will be using Jaws, but apparently there's at least one specific person who'll be using the Dual screenreader/magnifier software, which is made by a company called Sensory Software, but although I've found a website for them, manuals/tutorials etc., I haven't found any place to download a demo as such, so I was just wondering if there was in fact such an instance of this software?
