Re: Supernova disappointments
@Chris, As I said, once upon a time, supernova was good for access by providing accessibility to most things, and mostly that access wasn't by specifically written scripts, since script files in supernova tend to be far more minimal than in many other screen readers. One reason I could pull it out and do random things with it that didn't require scripts, since quite a lot of the time you would spend your time activating the dolphin curser and wandering the application, seeing what was what..
Narrator does seem surprisingly usable at this point in a lot of native Windows things, nvda is still far superior it seems or at least at the moment.
It's a little sad since I do remember where Supernova used to be, but there you go. Actually my wife was commenting that all the commercial readers seem to be going this way at the moment. It's a shame, since you'd think the emphasis here would be to create something more flexible than lik es of Nvda, not less.
As far as Supernova goes, once you've bought the license, you have to pay full version upgrades, while at about a hundred pounds they're expensive, they're not stupidly expensive, being that new versions generally come around every 18 months or so, while sub versions are all free and tend to get released every few weeks to a month apart.
I absolutely agree on the access philosophy though. Whatever else you say about Apple, they definitely had the right idea in terms of building a screen reader into the operating system directly.
