Microsoft have been improving the accessibility of their setup process lately. I was recently able to configure a new laptop (out of the box, literally) using Narrator all the way up to the point of installing JAWS, without any assistance.
Linux and Mac users (I'm in both categories) have been able to do this for a long time now. Microsoft is catching up, however, and the third-party screen reader solutions available for the Windows environment are very rich in features - more so than you'll find elsewhere. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Charles Adkins Sent: Sunday, July 9, 2017 3:09 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Edge It has been painfully obvious to me that Microsoft has just given talk and nothing more. If they really wanted computers to talk like Macs do they could make them do so. All one needs do is look at the Edge browser and say no more. I wonder if they'll strike a deal with vfo and Office like they did with Window-eyes. Anything to stall or keep from making computers talk like a Mac. So one could say "Chuck, shut up and get a mac!" My reply, easier said than done. Just my thoughts. I've sent Microsoft feedback on this subject. Microsoft has the money and the ability to do anything they wish.
