Hello Tony. What is the likely chance of that happening? Look at the customer-bass of VFO? VFO's customer-base is massive compared to Window-Eyes. Look at Brian Hartgen and the script writers for JAWS. Brian Hartgen and the JAWS script writers won't give up erning their blood money from blind people.

We aren't there yet, but more and more things are becoming voice activated, and voice commanded. The market for such special items as Window-eyes and Jaws is waining. Heck, the I phone out of the box gives the blind user access to GPS, internet searches, txt messageing, etc, without the need of an expensive piece of software that at best in moderately useable. It's just a matter of time. -----Original Message----- From: Vaughan Dodd via Talk Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 4:05 PM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: Failure to hold VFO to account Greetings all. I've just flicked through the latest edition of Access World from AFB. We are promised CSUN updates in April. In the 21st Century, and with our accessible technology industry going through significant change, not to mention the demise of the pony express, the failure of someone to get down and dirty with VFO leadership suggests to me that we are being let down by credible information sources. Quite reasonably, AFB promotes its sponsorship of the Blind Bargain blogs concerning CSUN events and exhibits, but these don't cut it iehter. One of the disappointing things about services like Apple Vis is that although often people exchange useful information, the leadership fails to critique the shortcomings of Apple with respect to its developments in the specialty area of access. The same seems true on the Windows side of the divide - with no one prepared to critique VFO's behaviours.
