I agree, Pam. What a waste. But that's how it works in business. Look at the big boys: Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. They spend hundreds of millions every year just buying anything that may be the faintest competition so they can throw it away, or, on the rare occasion, incorporate it into their lineup.

Regards,
Tom

Hello. I doubt Vispero will ever put the Window-Eyes code into the public so
others can develop it. What I can say is that JAWS doesn't have much brain
left. That means, they are running out of ideas now.

Tom, based on the information you shared regarding NVDA scripting, I will
give off every hair on my wee, small head to bring Window-Eyes back to live.
I'm not a programmer, and, indeed, those Custom Control thingies always
threw me off.  On occasions, I succeeded in reclassifying most of them into
Edit Box and got them to work.  But, honestly, I knew not what I did!
Window-Eyes just worked for me ...  It did put food on my dining table,
enabled me to advocate for myself, and also gave me a chance to interact
with some of the most brilliant minds in this assistive/adaptive/accessible
technology field.  I get the same from Android presently; hence the reason
why I want to DITCH WINDOWS and keep on running with my Shiny Android toys!


Window-Eyes was murdered just because it ran circles around its grandiest
enemies.  How I wish the visionaries at GW Micro, Inc. had seen this coming!
But alas, the human angle hardly ever sees what's going wrong until the
pendulum swings and falls, splitting the brain in parts that fall below the
deepest sea!

No, if I can help it, I don't wish to play ball with Windows10!  A complete
divorce from Windows screen readers is what I seek; right now, legacy
Windows apps used for work still hold me hostage to Windows.  Hopefully, it
won't be long before I can disentangle myself completely.

I'm playing with an 11.5-inch Android tablet; it is a bit perplexing for me.
Guess that's because of its real estate.  A much bigger space on a
touchscreen to deal with.  Looks somewhat intimidating, but I am pretty sure
I shall conquer it before long.  I am planning on grabbing a 7-inch or
8-inch tablet to play with.  With a tad smaller real estate, the
intimidation should cease and a much larger tablet won't embarrass me much
to much anymore.  As I do this, I am watching all my Windows computers die
so I can send them to their last place in the recycle dump.

If somehow the Window-Eyes code finds its way back to where more brilliant
minds can weave magic out of it, I'll be all ears!  I also wish that, when
Window-Eyes reincarnates, it can be ported over to Android and thus be a
serious contender to Talkback, VoiceViews, VoiceAssistant, Shine and
Commentary.  I know I'm hallucinating, not just trying to dream of the
impossible; but keeping hope alive is not yet a sin in my books!

Again, Tom, thanks a ton for your invaluable insights.

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
