I've been under the weather of late and, therefore, may have missed this. Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.1 (note this isn't just 8.1) apparently works with Narrator. For those of you who have not tried Narrator for Windows 8.1, you may be in for a surprise, particularly with the rather robust gesture controls.
Anyway, I listened to a very impressive podcast from Blind Cool Tech demonstrating Windows Phone 8.1 using Narrator. This was on a Windows phone. Of course, this could be completely different from Narrator on regular Windows, but . The speculation here is whether Freedom Scientific, this time, might try to get JAWS to work with Windows Phone. If Narrator works, why not? Of course, the above is assuming a good deal. For those who remember, Freedom Scientific passed on Windows Mobile. Code Factory made a decent screen reader, but then Windows Mobile sort of died. I'm pretty used to my iPhone, but I might be tempted to trade it for a Windows Phone if JAWS supported Windows Phone. With gestures on the iPhone, gestures on my Android Nexus, and gestures on my Yoga IdeaPad, I'm getting confused. One consistent environment would be a blessed simplification of my otherwise complex life. What do you think? Sent from my Yoga IdeaPad I.
