Microsoft could developed Narrator to work as good as any screen reader and the cost could be spread out across million and millions of copies of Windows, where a company like VFO or AISquared has to spread out the cost to a few thousand copies of the screen readers sold. Apple did it so why can't Microsoft. The present version of Narrator is only good for some things but useless in many. ----- Original Message ----- From: Singing Sparrow via Talk To: Butch Bussen ; Window-Eyes Discussion List ; Sky Mundell Sent: Friday, March 17, 2017 10:11 AM Subject: Re: Failure to hold VFO to account
Sometimes i wonder what microsoft really saw in window eyes in the first place? I mean they could have advanced narrater to the point it is today with in windows 10 and made it work fluently with all windowsoperating systems.
