With the exception of programs like Jaws I would avoid paying for anything. It is quite clear that we are a very tiny market for software producers and accessibility comes well down their priorities whether you've paid for the program or not.
Grisoft is one of the better companies but even they have fallen into the trap of upgrading software which is now unsuitable for us.
