Several years ago, I asked a Freedom Scientific tech about getting the JAWS
or PC cursor to follow a mouse pointer and was told that because there are
so many different shapes, colors, and sizes of mouse pointers, it would cost
half a million dollars to implement the feature into the screen reader.
Again, this was several years ago. I didn't believe it then, and don't now.
However, the touch screen cursor might be similar to a mouse pointer?

Hi Charles,
I hope so. Although, at the moment none of the Windows screen readers seem
to follow the user input from the touchscreen. Hopefully future updates
will allow screen readers to track touchscreen input and will speak the
contents of the screen like VoiceOver and then we would have the best of
both worlds for sure.

Now, if the touch screen, as a mouse replacement, operates like an iPhone
in that touching highlights, dragging can be done with fingers, and a
gesture of some kind activates the highlighted icon, wouldn't we have the
best of both worlds, as long as icons can verbally be identified!
