I love your optomism. with attitudes like this, no wonder people are convinced it's going away. oh, but yeah, just sit back, and don't do anything. Great attitudes y'all. 10:31 AM, Kenneth Son via Talk wrote:Hello list. I don't think any comments sent to the vfo people will do much good.Personally,I hope Microsoft Narater becomes so perfected that it puts the other screen reader into the useless category.That would make Narrater the main screen reader just as Voiceover is for the Apple products.Probably that's how it should be any way.The possibility of Window Eyes being phased out just makes my heart sick.Having to change over to something else andlearn all those commands and other things just seems a little to much of a chalange at this age.Something is just a little funny about this whole thing.

If you want to make sure Window-eyes staysaround, please write to the VFO folks and let them know that you expect the same type of customer service and great products as you did when aisquared was around. This will let them know you care about the product and that you are a loyal user. On 10/14/2016 4:17 PM, darren harris via Talk wrote:Hi all,Is this actual policy or are people just panicking?

If it is, I amnot switching to Jaws, because I won't be able to afford it, amongst other reasons. However, in my letter, I have pointed out that if Window-Eyes goes, it provides a significant problem for blind people wanting to get into work, as not everyone has an access to work fund. Moreover, one of the few ways we can work, especially for younger people, is volunteering, and there, we may be in a crisis, as ITtechnicians are paranoid about NVDA, since it is open source, and theythink it could contain a virus or compromise security in another way. We would be in limbo, as they won't want NVDA, and they won't pay forJaws, as Access to Work won't pay for equipment for unpaid work, so you would have to buy a license for every computer you use out of your own pocket. What do you think? Also, I have heard that they are developing both Magic and ZoomText. How come they are doing that, but phasing outWindow-Eyes? To me, this is a case of double standards._______________________________________________Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the authorand do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
