You may not want to start a discussion, but posting a link to this petition inevitably does just that. I worry that if MS came up with anything close to Apple's VoiceOver, employers would assume basic accessibility requirements have been met without the added cost of buying and updating JAWS. As good as VoiceOver may be, and despite our periodic frustrations with FS, JAWS is exclusively tailored to the needs of visually impaired computer users. I dread the day MS takes on this job and elbows FS out.

Subject: Fully Functional Screen Reader Petition Hi all, I consider this a very important petition, however, I do not wish to start a discussion on whether or not this will do away with blindness products, the attempt as such will fail, or any other messages of a similar nature. Someone started a petition calling on Microsoft to incorporate a real screen reader into Windows 10. This should include maintenance and installing capabilities. The link is here: https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-windows-feature-suggestions/suggestions/6942363-add-a-native-fully-functional-screen-reader-to-wi Share this with friends and family, on Facebook or Twitter. Anywhere you feel might give the necessary votes. Voting is easy, and you do not even need to provide an e-mail address.
