Re: When will Edge Browser be ready Under WindowEyes

Wed, 31 Aug 2016 18:23:11 -0700 

It is easy to be very confused at present.
Window-Eyes still installs to a GWMicro folder. There is still a GwMicro website. There is AI Squared, and there is VFO. All one and the same. And then VFO is Freedom Scientific and Optelec and maybe AI Squared.
I would like to think that my good friend Rod is correct in that the various companies will continue to develop their products independently of each other for a while yet, but it doesn't make good business sense in the longer term.
If Microsoft chooses to talk to anyone regarding access to the Edge browser by screen readers, it will talk to a VFO senior executive member, and not necessarily to the representatives of the individual parts of the VFO group. I actualy think it significant that an extra "A" or the "sqquared" has not been added to the VFO title. And it was significant that Microsoft decided to roll out Narraot's access to the Edge browser, even though it knows that blind people who rely on screen readers do not seriously use Narrator.
The VFO "muscle" is now greater than the sum of individual manufacturers negotiating with Microsoft, but it doesn't mean that MS will give us what we require.

Yeah, I wondered when I saw that question, myself. I thought "Hello? Freedom Scientific? Isn't this the wrong list? And then he compounds the felony by saying Window eyes. Pam.

Hi Rick,

I have to say, my friend, obviously with tongue in cheek, that you're
barking up the wrong tree if you're addressing your comments to the Freedom 
Scientific staff, since, in truth, this is an AI Squared list.
The two companies may be under the same umbrella, but, in the words of
Sting, well, the Police rock band,"it's a big enough umbrella, but it'S
always me that ends up getting' wet."
I guess what I'm trying to highlight is the fact that the two companies will 
continue to work independently in the development of their screen reader
offerings, at least in the short term.

Affectionately,

Rod (smile)

Hi: I read Microsoft thinks the Edge Browser is ready for prime time and

has

improved accessibility hooks for screen readers.
I don't know how far it has come but you fellows at Freedom Scientific

might

know when WindowEyes will be ready to work well with the Edge Browser.
Are things ready, almost ready, not being worked on or what is the status 
of

pushing out this update?
