[Athen] Screen readers/other software

[Kelmer, Susan M.]

My only concern with your comments, Jim, is that you make the assumption
that we are providing either/or, i.e., Premier/others.  That's not the
case.  We provide it all, as do most other campuses.  Everyone knows
that you get what you pay for, and we also all know that sometimes
low-tech and low-cost is effective for a certain process, and not
effective for another.  Stop assuming we are replacing things like
Zoomtext and WYNN and Read and Write with Premier, and you'll stop
hearing from me on the subject.

My licensing for the Premiere suite is about $1000 per year.  That has
been relatively cost-effective for us.  Of course, it depends on
where/how we deploy it, as well.  

And I wouldn't trade Text-to-Audio for just about anything, at this
point.  It is the MOST-used Premier product for me and has been for
about five years now.  I could not get my work done without it.
