Hello, Josh and everyone.
These articles are valuable as historical documents, and they probably
should be taken seriously. However, please remember they represent one
player's opinion. Like other highly personal writings, I suspect they
contain some truth, but I suspect they contain some misrepresentations
or, at least, personal biases. Something I told my students over and
over bears repeating: don't be persuaded by the latest piece you read
even if it comes from a credible source. Read it, yes; but also think
critically about it.

Wow!
These articles were quite revealing, to put it mildly. It's sad to see
that the two main screen readers out there are, seemingly, sitting on
their back-sides, just coasting, while hundreds of blind persons are out
there unable to find employment, because these screen readers have not
kept up.

Last night I ran across a couple of interesting articles written by
a former head of Software Engineering of a major assistive
technology company. Since Window-Eyes was mentioned in the articles
in a historical context, I am passing them along to the list.
