<p>Eric,</p>
<p>Download Vinux which is Linux for the Visually impaired from <a href="http://www.vinuxproject.org">www.vinuxproject.org</a> </p>
<p>It will boot from DVD or installed on USB stick or installed alongside windows on hard drive.</p>
<p>I use it all the time, or about 90% of the time, Windows about 10%.</p>
<p>Linux does everything and much easier than Windows.</p>

The detail you're probably not aware of is that CHIRP uses a<br>
cross-platform UI toolkit called GTK. This makes it invisible to screen<br>
readers on both Windows and MacOS, which only support reading for their<br>
native widgets. It works just fine on Linux, of course, but that<br>
doesn't help you.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do for you here. It's not<br>
feasible to have a volunteer-run application project that supports all<br>
three platforms' UI toolkits natively, and especially one that moves at<br>
the speed that CHIRP does.<br>
