Hi Nick: That is true indeed. There are some Internet and other things WindowEyes handles better than the other readers, not many but some. The point for me is that no matter who is creating software it should flat out work properly or it is not ready for prime time production. With a screen reader that is almost impossible since they have to deal with other peoples work, people who create the programs the screen reader is trying to read and navigate. This, however, is no excuse but a valid reason for some problems that a screen reader with a limited staff just wont be able to address for every individual client and every individual third party program. That is why management is so important, that is it has to Organize, prioritize and Implement those features deemed most important to their clients. For a screen reader company I would guess it is to get every window in the Windows Operating System working very, very well, then the Internet and then other third party applications like Office and only then develop for other third party applications. I would stress the entire Microsoft Platform, all programs Microsoft puts out as my first priority with an eye twoard a few other very popular programs but then I am not the top dog anyplace nor would I want to be - allot of stress indeed. But there is money in making professional tools and popular programs accessible and before you ever touch a keyboard as a developer you do a cost / benefit analysis of the project even if just an informal discussion and Microsoft and a few non Microsoft programs are widely used in business, industry and Finance and that is where the bulk of my work would be targeted since Government and Industry will pay for the screen reader that works the best with packages their employees use and greenies are, despite some people, very very important to the survival of any company. No company, no screen reader. I would also let my client base know what is on the table for review like in an agile project management senario so they get an idea of what is high priority and what is low priority to have an open discussion of what and why some things may, or not, get addressed in the near to intermediate future - at least I would try that out to help get more input of real value from my client base if I were a small development team with limited resources or I think I would try it - perhaps not just never been there done that. Anyway, you are correct but for the fact that WE does not work flawlesly with the Windows10 operating system in my opinion and that in my case would be job1 with the internet job2 which also seems to need some work.
