if MS are going to make a screen reader then it better be able to do
everything that JFW can, I'm not stepping backwards in the computer world.

Hi there Gord,
I agree, this is the problem! if they put there toes in to developing a
screen reader that is bought with the cd of windows on it then goodness nos
what will happen! you will have a screen reader but its oporation for us
will be not taken in to acount, they will give you access bu
Hi David,
Keep in mind that as a new release of a screen reader comes out, it may
leap frog the competition for a while. Let's see how well JFW 3.3 works
with IE5, and then I think some conclusions can be drawn. This isn't
taking anything away from Window-Eyes; it's great that it apparently wor
we needn't worry about ms developing an effective screen reader. we
are all going to march to lynux soon and ms couldn't fight their way

I would bet that Microsoft will develop a screen reader. Not for the blind
community but for other areas that will develop into it. One of the quiet
reasons for the development of all the software synthesizers etc. is so
that ultimately a company's web site can be integrated into more

I think it is important to point out in this discussion that, like the rest
of the computer industry, screen readers are always changing and
developing. I'm sure HJ will catch up quickly with Window-Eyes and IE5.
As we all know, GW Micro fell behind in the IE race there for a while and
are now ca
These are exactly the kinds of features we need in JFW. Unfortunately,
when I had to buy a screen reader, Window Eyes was way behind JFW. Now
it seems like they're ahead. I don't want to slo progress at HJ but
these screen readers are so damn expensive that I'll stick with the
one I have until som
Hey guys:
do you really think that microsoft is going to dedicate any serious
resources into developing a superior screen reader. Look how long its
taken to get MSAA in to a reputable state, and it still isn't implemented
by most of the software out there. I doubt that a microsoft screenreader

When it comes to the future, both JFW and Window-eyes (as well as any
other third-party screen readers out there) had better be looking over
their shoulder. Microsoft is reported to be working on its own screen
readers for Windows products. If and when they succeed, the scheisse
