Can Narrator work with Live Regions on the web? Is it responsive, with default voices, enough to be used full-time? Was it even designed to be a full screen reader? Yeah, you get my point. Comparing Voiceover on the Mac to Narrator is like comparing a ripe apple with an apple that has been left

He Guy's. I'm a Microsoft remember Ha? I understand nothing about Apple or it's supports. I think, It's safe to assume however, that Apple will prove very helpful. Just look at voice-over. Works out of the box on all products for no extra cash. Not quite the Same as Microsoft and Freedom
