Bought a $120 screen reader license, then found the free one does more
Last month I paid $120 for a premium screen reader to test my designs. Thought it was the pro tool everyone used. Spent a whole weekend learning its quirks. Then a friend showed me the free open source one. It had better navigation, clearer voice, even a visual focus overlay I needed. Felt like an idiot. The money isn't the worst part, it's the three days I lost. Anyone else burned cash on paid access tools when free options were right there?
