None of these bolt on screen readers matter though. Until one of these screen readers enables me to take a copy of windows out of the box, install it and do it with built in features just like I can other operating systems then it doesn’t matter. Sure there may be all sorts of work arounds for a blind admin to deal with installation and administration of windows but really until the screen reader is an integral part of the OS and just another service I can enable if I want at install time I’m not interested and will go with a platform where I’m able to do this today. Bolt on screen readers are just that, bolt on after thoughts. On Jan 13, 2015, at 1:42 PM, vic.pereira@ssc-spc.gc.ca wrote:
This is pure speculation on my part, but Microsoft appears to be very close since the agreement in place to have a free version of Window-Eyes with a valid installation of MS Office. I believe Microsoft did this when they included an anti-virus solution with their OS, they just obtained it from a company that already had one in place.
