Hello everyone. I am still using Window-Eyes and the various Android apps in my smart phone but I think the 4 B's might apply here to FS, Jaws and screen reading access generally.

What are the 4 B's?

Big, Bigger, Biggest, Bust.
In the longr term, some good will come of it all depending on who thinks about what is behind the need for top quality Screen reading access.
There are some good things around.
Just some thoughts I've had as I have observed and participated in some of this Accessibility change and development.

FS is getting desperate to hang onto their market at any cost. With JAWS having 
a monopoly in the paid market now, the price of JAWS might go up.

You can tell fs starting to get desperate. Fs 10 or 15 years ago wouldn't have 
given you discounts on anything. For most the out of the box accessibility, 
android, apple etc. will work for what they need to do. I'm curious though, is 
anyone from gw or pre merger ai2 still around.? Everyone i can think of seems 
to be gone.

Ah, I think I see where you’re going with this.

Are you saying things may be getting to a point where the cost of
maintaining JAWS is greater than anyone wants to pay in terms of
keeping the company going?

I know it’s not because of Narrator being a superior product on the
Windows side.  It is improving, but, not enough for many of us to get
rid of JAWS.

Well, Michael, I once opined that the war Freedom Scientific could not
win in the courts, was well fought and won outside; with its cohorts
and coterie of friends, it succeeded in drowning the boat!

The merger with AI Square came to me as a surprise; I didn't want to
see it happen, but what voice do I have?

I long for the day when all these adaptive equipment
developers/manufacturers can TRADE THEIR STOCKS publicly; may be, just
may be, they'll have better stability!  Now, we keep our eyes on the
sparrow, Jaws may be taking its last breath as the venture capitalists
will soon squash its fins!  Then it'll be Apple and Google to fill the
void at least here in the United States!

Sincerely,
Olusegun
