Hey! At least you can modify windows 10 to look a bit more than default basic.
Try getting JAWS to run past 40 minute demo mode on any version of windows (post win 7) without paying a yearly subscription. It used to be that you had to pay $800 up front for it and was good through only 2 major upgrades. Now it’s $100 yearly (quite a bit cheaper, but no better on the quality for a corporate environment screen reader for the blind). At least NVDA (free and open source windows screen reader) is still available. Not sure which language NVDA is written in, but if it’s C++ or Python, I bet it can be ported and patched to run virtually any DM in the Linux GUI space. That assumes the API calls are similar (I know there is still a lot of work before KDE can be considered even remotely fully accessible and most of the GTK based DM’s work with ORCA (btw, there is only 1 or two full time devs for the ORCA project, so if anyone on this list wants to help out, they could certainly use the help). -Eric From the Central Offices of the Technomage Guild, Software Development Dept. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list: [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
