Hi Steve,
This is a valid point regarding the need for a dedicated screenreader, provided
that Microsoft do more to make sure you can here your computer as it loads up -
say, when it asks you whether you want to run in safe mode, or tells you about
errors encountered during the boot-up process. There's more to accessibility
than just screenreaders though, so the subject does deserve at least an
honourable mention.
Best,
Clive

Hi,
Who cares? We don't need one. Just download NVDA.
All the best

Hi all.
First of all want to apologize for cross posting but want to raise an important
question.
For all who have not watched the presentation that Microsoft put out regarding
the win 10 consumer preview this is the audio link.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16617710/videoplayback.m4a
Note.
The presentation is a full presentation without the cutting off of the question
answer session I have only converted into audio so that it becomes small to
download.
The original video presentation is about 1.35 GB In the entire presentation of
about 2hrs 19 min and 23 seconds Microsoft has not discussed on accessibility
or regarding adding a screen reader to windows 10 and I mean full fledge screen
reader.
So now what do we do next.
Although there are some fantastic things in this presentation will not spoil
the excitement watch and see
