Hello Jeremy, My top three items?
Number one would be to make Win eyes Reliable. If Win Eyes stops, and the Speech is gone, I am Stuck. I don't know if Win eyes is the cause, or if the program I was using at the time blew up and took down Win Eyes too, or if Something lurking in the Operating System raised its ugly head and took down everything.
So, knowing there are other reasons for a system suddenly stopping, and going quiet, at least make Win Eyes the last program suspected of causing a problem.
Number Two would be solid support of MS Office, MS Word, Excel, Power point, and I wish I wish I wish, some kind of support for Access, or some other Database.
And my Number Three would be to have solid Support for Browsing the Internet. Don't really care which Browser is chosen to make the most Accessible, but being able to get On Line and to Navigate the typical Web Page is very important. And since the Web is always changing, and new methods of creating Pages, and displaying information always changes, sometimes very rapidly, trying to keep up with what is changing on the Web might be near impossible. So, do the best you can for accessing the Web.
As a guy that worked for over 20 years at a Software Company, I found that Window Eyes kept me Employed. It opened up doors for me that otherwise would never have opened.
I do Stress the importance of Reliability over adding new features. Of course, some features are required to have a competitive Screen Reader. But, would rather have reliability than some new tricky feature that someone comes up with that only a few might benefit, but because resources were put on creating and adding that extra feature, not enough attention was given to keeping Window Eyes a Solid Reliable Work Horse.
