Very interesting collection of questions, Joseph! Thank you for putting this list together.
For me, it did a good job of pointing out what I do NOT know about N V D A. I am a programmer by profession,

Re: Tips for speed reading /listening with screen readers
Whatever you call it, E-Speak introduces considerable distortion when the speech is speeded up and the distortion starts at not that fast a speed up. It gets worse as you increase speed.

If I had the money, I would personally buy the rites to eloquence and then I would open source it. And then this whole legal argument about it could finally stop. Using it is sort of a gray area
