I understand your thoughts and agree with them.
More bells and whistles are not the answer to accessibility. making
the software you use and web you research with more readable should
be the goal.
I got a macBook with voice over on it. It does pretty good with some
of the apps out there. One thing I did notice about it was the gmail
site. It doesn't have to be in basic view to be used. Voice over
reads in both ways just as good.
Now why can't others do at least that good of job at being accessible?
Apple don't think about bells and whistles. They think of the whole
system as being useable. Even NVA does a decent job of reading and
its free. Just food for thought for those that still think not like sheep.

This is not the case, at all, instead I was trying to provoke some thought
about what the main objective of a screen-reader should be focused on.
I am not looking for a debate, just voicing an opinion.

How about a screen-reader that reads the screen?
since you can get the same results of the research it feature by learning to
use the internet.
I think the more people ask Freedom Scientific to include other functions
into Jaws,
the further away we get from Jaws actually being useful in applications as
it once was.
At the rate that features are being included, that do not address problems
of accessibility in specific applcations,
Jaws will be less of a screen-reader, and more of an operating system.
Just my opinion.
