I'm not sure I sent this reply correctly so here goes again.
The reasonsyou gave  for the inability of my system working without undue
effort from experts are probably correct.  But the real world is that the
disabled in the work force often don't have the expertise available.  To be
competitve and effective in government and industry requires that their
assistive system works.  If there is a Friday night report to get out, it's
not acceptable to wait for a few days to get the specialized help needed.

When we all fly in an airplane, we don't have to know who made the engines,
computers, flight controls or navigation systems, it's integrated and
tested before we fly.  The DOD relies on systems integrators for all their
systems.

We need to be sure that what the government buys must work reliably as the
system is used by the disabled.

Thanks for your comments
