That's why I like windoweyes, since it is easy to use and you can use arrows keys tab keys and so on. Microsoft can do updates to windows 10 anytime and besides jaws what screen reader out there is working with Microsoft? I have sma's so I will probably get jaws put it on my home machine leave we use we whenever I can for as long as I can I will probably get the jaws pro since I can use it at work.

I'm unsure of the legalities involved in reclaiming or transferring rights to Window-eyes' code, now that it is VFO's property. I'm sure it would be quite costly, if at all legally possible. However, I can only suppose that other accessibility companies or burgeoning entrepreneurs may be able to do this. No one from Gwmicro has addressed their reasons for the buyout, except for vague statements about overall benefits to the accessibility community. While I understand wanting to retire or even needing to be bought out in order to avoid bankruptcy, I don't understand the logic of locking up perfectly good code for no one to use. It would be like a manufacturer burning rather than selling its inventory.
