I am very skeptical about some of the Windows 10 speculation that has gone
around in recent months. Will Window-Eyes run on Windows 10 phones? Not
unless it is recompiled and probably rewritten (again). Android apps are
written in a language similar to Java for touch-screen devices. They may
work visually for people running their Windows 10 devices in touch-screen
mode, but will that translate at all into something that is
keyboard-accessible? One of my sayings is that accessibility doesn't fall
out of the trees. Even if well-meaning people have written a framework that
enables some kind of nonvisual accessibility, a lot of work will need to be
done to make that framework sing and enable us to compute as efficiently as
our sighted neighbors. There will be change, and in 10 years it will
surprise us all. Just don't expect it to arrive suddenly, all ready to use.

Hi,
What will this mean for screen reader users? Will we be able to use

This is exciting news for windows user who are blind if in fact these apps
will be supported with our screen reader on windows 10.
Thanks.
