This description may be outdated, but it does not give much information about how to actually use the screen reader. It does show a video, but a detailed instruction list might be more meaningful to users who are interested in the software.

The information or description may be outdated because it referred to something in 2008. The video was nice but maybe something that can be read or printed out would help also.

"July 26 marks the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.... the ADA's provisions include the right to seek, obtain, pursue and maintain employment without being hampered by physical or attitudinal barriers. I believe that having a job is a civil right. Those who are qualified for and want to work should not be denied that right because of an inaccessible building or an outdated set of assumptions about what they can or cannot do..."
