I guess Quicken isn't among the most popular software? -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of dave-d0619 Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2008 10:34 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: jaws 10 and when will ther be scripts for applicatiosn like quickbooks an tthose sor t of applicatiosn taht have not be available ot us Hello Peter: This is a subject that I have raised with Eric Damery on many occasions over the years His reply has been, that they have to concentrate on supporting the most popular software that are used by the majority of users. If Freedom Scientific do not have enough script writers in-house to create scripts for "account management" software, for example, there are enough script writers out there, who they have trained or, who have learned the script language themselves, who are more than capable of writing the scripts for such programs. So, one has to ask, why do they not sub-contract some of those script writers to write the scripts they cannot handle in-house for such software. They cannot use the excuse that it would "cost too much money", as the expense can be used as a tax deduction under the heading "part of doing business" expenses. It is not as if they do not know that a number of their customers, who are JAWS users, are business people, for whom, providing such scripts, would be of enormous benefit.
