Would you say that Thundre and NVDA are easier to use?

Yes this is correct Doris and Chris.  The lookout screen reader was a very
low cost screen reader which came out a number of years ago.  There was a
magnification system called Magnice which came out around the same time
produced by the same stable. I used to have lookout but never actually
mastered it as it had a lot more in the way of keystrokes than I have ever
known a screen reader to have.  The combination product with lookout and
Magnice was called Dual as far as I can remember.
