Re: jaws 16 beta: death of screen reader innovation illustrated
My responses, following the same order:
1: can't comment specifically. I've been using nvda for a long time now and haven't looked back. I'd say though that this is somewhat pointless, as if they have anything like a propper manual (which iirc they do) keystroke lookup is easy.
2: No clue what this does, but the whole line just makes me want to sigh at them. Give us a propper portable version and maybe then we'll talk improvement.
3: no comment.
4: ah, but the ocr was so bad before, so utterly horribly bad. Any improvement is worthwhile.
5: Good for you. Don't upgrade. Its a pain in more ways than I could possibly explain.
6: no comment, not sure what the issue they're fixing is.
7: Good. More people will use it than you think, because a lot of people don't bother to do the research required to find those better apps.
8: Cool. They need to make research it better (how's about more search results than 5!) because they're getting smashed to bits on the extra features front by nvda. I.e: the only one jfw has is research it. Nvda has a whole community addons website full of seriously handy extras (go balloons history, go dropbox, go system monitor).
9: No comment. Seems like a generic improvement.
10: Nvda's braille support list (and I quote the manual):
