Yes, Narrator has really improved by leaps and bounds. But I would still not
recommend anyone to switch to it given that NVDA is also available free of cost.
It needs to be seen if Microsoft continues to develop Narrator and more
importantly if they put resources in supporting third party applications and
develop advanced screen reader features. Also it needs to be seen if Microsoft
allows users to customize it and build add-ons for different needs.
If they continue to develop it over the next one or two years then I think NVDA
usage will get a big setback.
For now the super users can keep testing and evaluating it.

Subject: [AI] Narrator as a screen reader come of age
Hi All
Narrator has really taken off ultimately in the latest update on Win10.
I would urge all the computer training centers to focus on narrator as a screen
reader.
There are plenty of enhancements as a result of which it is now
possible to switch to it as a primary screen reader. Although the key
combinations are not intuitive one will have to invest sometime on it.
To check if you are running the latest build of Win10, Run narrator and type
the combination of caps+ a, a few times. If it keeps increasing the verbosity
level, this can be a easy test. The old build had only two states as a toggle.
A very unique feature which is new is that it can now describe any image using
artificial intelligence.
