Hi, And how are VFO supposed to make money out of this free JAWS? You can't pay developers with peanuts.
All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joshua Kennedy via Talk Sent: 10 April 2017 00:47 To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <[email protected]> Subject: how to make jaws low-cost I emailed erik damery CEO of vfo with the following suggestions. in order to make a low cost or free jaws, do the following. 1. rip out all nuance stuff. and for the free jaws, support and all nuance stuff has to be paid or purchased separately if you want it. 2. replace nuance eloquence with speech player and espeak. replace vocalizer with the free speechHub and microsoft speech platform voices. 3. rip out omniPage for OCR and replace it with the free tesseract OCR or a free google OCR option. 4. free or low-cost jaws should be download only. or pay $20 for a dvd. 5. no jaws network install unless you buy the $20 dvd. 6. free jaws is authorized with a generic serial number. 7. all free jaws or low cost jaws serial numbers are the same maybe serial=freejaws or something like that. I wrote to vfo at least two times about this. I hope they are listening, because using illegal keys made by middle eastern folks is sort of annoying and I would much rather have a free or very very low cost jaws for home use minus all the nuance stuff, but have a basic jaws tandom in there so us freeJaws users can remote and help each other out. Personally I cannot wait for the day to say goodbye to the foreign-made key code. because i will never have the income to go to conventions to buy jaws. besides using espeak would let jaws read the irish gaelic and some other rare languages that eloquence and even nuance vocalizer does not support. perhaps with any luck the big announcement coming in a few months, will finally allow me to say goodbye to the foreign-made-key-codes forever. i hope. i hope erik damery CEO of vfo is listening. give us free or very very low-cost jaws for those who cannot afford to buy full jaws with its nuance bells and whistles! _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
