Hmmm if windows does go arm guys it will be more than jaws.
Every blind game for 32 and 64 bit cpus will be gone to especially if
those branches are dropped and I doubt that every system will go arm.
As for arm systems, that will probably mean no supernova, nvda, etc,
just narator.
No desktop apps that are not arm based, maybe just universals, so
windows 10 arm will be another s which just means for us blind users it
won't be much to us.
And if they actually decide to drop full 32 and 64 bit support, then I
am going back to xp.

They did say specifically that part of their accessibility budget
would involve testing with premium screen readers. So if you want JAWS
support, it kind of does have to be funded first. I worry that JAWS as
a consumer product will fizzle out sooner rather than later. Once
Windows 10 Arm hits, JAWS is done for. And FS is applying JAWS, or
versions of JAWS, to non-consumer settings such as
shopping/informational keyoscs. So do keep in mind that there is legit
reason (not personal beef with the product on my part) to believe that
JAWS for individuals is has a good chance of fizzling out whether
Windows 10 Arm comes to take it away or not, so that may or may not be
a factor in whether or not they decide to devote time and resources
into making the game fullproof with JAWS. To be clear, again, I do not
intend to start a screen reader fewd over this, but just presenting
the reality for what it is. Risks and challenges as any Kickstarter
campaign will no doubt mention.
Have a good day.

Well assuming your point was support for "usual screen readers", then
yeah, it kinda is. NVDA has wider adoption than JAWS nowadays (see
recent webAIM surveys).
I think it's also worth keeping in mind at times like these that the
JAWS ULA precludes a demo version of JAWS being used to develop or
test for accessibility, which creates a chicken and egg situation.
Supporting JAWS is an expensive endeavour because of the terms of its
ULA. If none of the users who want JAWS support step up to fund it (at
least in part), how does that expense get covered?
I'm honestly not attempting to shame you into funding the project
Justin, I've got no stake in the outcome either way, just pointing out
how the land lies.

That's not really the point though.

NVDA is as good as JAWS in a lot of ways now, it’s recognised as a fully
fledged screen reader. I am an accessibility tester and NVDA is one of
the
screen readers I am required to test with.
Best wishes.

Thanks
I'm out then. I wish them luck, but until they can support the usual
screen-readers I cannot, in good conscience, support them.

You have to use NVDA. Not JAWS, for now. They told me through FB
Messenger
that JAWS was giving them huge amounts of problems. Use NVDA for now,
not
JAWS.
