That has already happened for FS. Development on the Pacmate stopped a long time ago, and I'm not sure you can still even get one, that is, if you even wanted one.

It's no wonder that Mr. Hamilton wanted to sell hardware when he became the CEO of FS. Magnifiers and Braille displays will always have a market, but with the good accessibility of Android and iOS devices, I suspect that the notetaker cash cow may soon run dry.

Since Window-Eyes was mentioned in the articles in a historical context, I am passing them along to the list. http://chrishofstader.com/the-death-of-screen-reader-innovation/ http://chrishofstader.com/screen-reader-failure-innovation-deterioration -despair/ Gary King [email protected] If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
