As members of the blind and vision impaired community, or as people who are acquainted with said community, most of us rely on screen reading technology to access our computers. Many of us either use, or would like to use your JAWS For Windows Screen reader. Some of us would like, or find it necessary to upgrade to a more recent version. It is no secret that most of us do not have a high income, and it is also no secret that access technology is very costly.
We are aware of a policy which is implimented by a few of your competitors - the option to lease-to-own a product. We are horrified and angry aboutyour lack of implimentation of this policy. This petition is to strongly encourage, recommend and ask you to implement such a policy as soon as possible. This in turn would encourage more people to use your products, and will give more people the ability to purchase or upgrade your software.
