Hi David,
. just a few additions, I think the work so far is very
comprehensive. The things I can think of are (and some may be covered already):
Does the program only work with the regular VGA video driver,
Does the software work in a network environment
What (if any) kind of copy protection or serialisation does the software
employ
Does the speech package alter the look and feel of windows screens and
facilities?
Does it work properly if you alter colours etc on the windows screen?
Does the software incorporate large print facilities or options as well
as speech output?
How are software updates obtained? What is the cost or method for
upgrades after purchase?
If the drivers for the speech synthesiser are loaded at dos prior to
running the windows product, then what are the developer's plans for
Windows 4 and NT like products?
What applications is the software known not to work with?
What is the price of the sofware (including the dos program if necessary
to access windows with the product)?
How does it react to use of regular windows document nagivation commands
(like moving by line, sentence etc) Does it speak appropriately?
What formats does the documentation come in, or available in?
Does the package come with any tactual materials to assist in learning
the product or Windows itself?
Please contact me if you require any clarifications of these points.
