Why would any VI say ‘no’ to it sir. But I can’t see screen readers specially JAWS is moving along with new operating systems and web technologies. If NVDA can do a certain job, JAWS must do it too, as it is a paid software.
And not just me, but VI acquaintances have been saying that JAWS is becoming worse. Instead of providing more accessibility, they feel more let down by JAWS now days. And it is surprising to see free packages like NVDA providing solutions for it. Earlier, i used to feel JAWS having resources at hand can’t do something then no screen reader would be able to do it, but freewares are giving very good competition. I would pull back my investments from Freedom Scientific if I had any) I take pain to write these things while at work, because I feel frustrated getting stuck in work due to JAWS issues and I know as more and more people will use NVDA it will keep getting better. MS has played its own part to make things worse for us. I used to find computers more accessible earlier than today. Really!!
