Hi. It will be interesting to see how those agencies survive during this pandemic and what comes ahead for us during the social distancing measures for screenreader developments.

As a 10 year Window-Eyes user, I thought it was great in the sense that you didn't have to purchase an aditional licence and so on and so forth. Plus, for a while it was ahead of its time and it could easally had become very popular and the guys who develop
Re: News from Freedom Scientific
Sadly FS has been screwing up this indestry for a while now. Remember that lawsute that they filed against GW for having the Placemarker tool in W.E? Who knows what things might have become had that lawsute not been filed.

Re: Jaws vs NVDA and braille displays?
Yes, JAWS's braille support is superb. It was actually in 1995-6 or so that then Henter-Joyce put braille support into it. This was because they were approached by a European distributor who wanted to represent them and the European distributor told
Re: Is LEASEY worth it?
I have to agree with everybody about Leasae. When I wrote to Brian about Leasae and talking about concerns we had with it, he was not very helpful. Now that we have the Covid19 I'm not sure how he is going to be able to survive in this Covid19 Pandemic. In fact, I
Re: comparing screen readers on Windows 10touch devices, your experiences?
Hello Afrim. JFW certainly does have touch screen support and I have heard demos of the JFW touch screen support on FSCast and it sounds promising as does the NVDA one. I disagree about Narrator not being able to
Re: History of screen readers and speech synthesizers
Hello. This is Sky talking to you. Anyways, as far as I know, their is no article that lists the history of screen reading technology, but I will try to explain the fax, with no bias what so ever. In the 1980's, blind folks started out

To add to Defenders posts. Here's another thing. Remember the show on ACB Radio called Main Menu? When it was under a man named Jonathan Mosen, One of the things he was very good at was doing good quality investigative journalism. I'll give you an
Re: jaws anual licencing question
Yes, but you could also get a three year, and or a five year JAWS home anual licence as well. This way it'll protect you from any future price increases Vispero does.

Re: Your opinions on Logic Pro X?
It really depends what you want to do. As a musician myself, I use a Mac for audio production with Logic Pro X, and Logic Pro X is accessible with VoiceOver. In fact, for musicians like myself, Logic Pro X comes with built in soft synths and these soft
Re: MacBook frustrations
When I meant I wasn't sure how accessible it would be, I meant I wasn't sure where you could get softsynths on the internet and where to go to find them. I knew about Osarra the accessible NVDA plugin but I didn't know where to get accessible softsynths for it.
Re: MacBook frustrations
Hello. As a audio producer and engineer as well as tech specialist working for an organisation in Canada, I have to say that I did use CakeTalking for Sonar on windows with JAWS for many, many years, but then when my windows 7 machine went obsolete I took a look at

True. an employee of mine told me that some if not all businesses still hold onto windows 7 due to privacy concerns. I even have talked with folks and they say that some, if not all banks, believe it or not, are

Re: amazing JAWS offer for those in the UK!
I totally agree with you guys there. Although I will say that I have friends who believe it or not have never heard of NVDA. Even when some, if not all of them do, because its inferior. The perception in there mind, is that if something is free,
Re: amazing JAWS offer for those in the UK!
Hello. I agree with you. They have defiantly had some customers on there asking about this. There was one person in India who wanted to take advantage of the offer and the guy told her she couldn't as she wasn't in the US. She also said when she
Re: Screen readers that are not popular?
I totally agree with you. I found GW Micro's licensing system better to JAWS. As in, you could put it on as many computers and it would install without any authorization and you just had a username and a serial number to worry about. There was no
Re: Screen readers that are not popular?
Hello. I have to agree with you here. The same goes in Canada as well. Its quite sad really, as competition should have been a good thing in this market, but it really is not. Over the last 25 years, Competition has been all about litigation and

Re: Screen readers that are not popular?
Yes due to it not being updated anymore it is going to be a total mess on the newest updates obviously. My guess was that AI Squared decided that they didn't have what it took to update the product for windows 10 and beyond. It's a shame though
Re: Software for crafting music other than reaper?
Hello. Sky here. I will say that being an audio engineer as one of my careers, I used to use CakeTalking for Sonar 8.5.3. I did take a look at Reaper and liked it but the problem is that it doesn't have any built in soft synths. So, when

Re: What exactly does Jaws change when it gets installed?
I remember when FS was still Henter-Joyce, and they had a program called Doctor JAWS, and Doctor JAWS examined your system to see if JAWS worked properly for your system. Back then, their wasn't all the optional things that it
Re: Jaws or NVDA on a terminal server, somehow doable?
Hello. I am going to have to agree with CW. FS pretty much has you by your throat in the remote citrix area. Quite Frankly it would be better to include it as part of the license. After all, the EX GwMicro who was the first to support
