    Hi,
    I follow NVDA on Twitter. From all I know, they are doing great
    for now and plan to keep continuing. this article looks like a
    clone of one that was out a year ago. Sure, they an always use
    donations, and if you have it and feel like donating that is
    great, but I don't think you have to worry about NVDA going anywhere.
    It is open source too, so even if it did lose funding that is no
    reason for the project to die completely. Orca lost funding when
    Oracle took over Sun, but Orca is still going strong. The same
    would happen with NVDA I am sure.
    thanks
    Storm

    Where can you get this Chinese voice that you speak of for Windows 7?
    Botr those such as myself who can't afford to upgrade to windows 8 when
    it comes out, I hope NVDA creators won't pull the plug on the screen
    reader. I think it is fantabulous!

mean, they have tons more money than FS and GW Micro combined. Plus, I'm sure the creators 
of Outspoken were not too happy about Apple's Voice-over, but they got over it and look at 
how good voice over is now, and think about how it was when it first came out. Back in 
Tiger, I heard, VO couldn't read power-points and I heard it was all-around a horrible 
screen reader, and the voices weren't that good either. But look at it now. Those that I 
have met online that have a mac say that they love every bit of it. Voice-over only has 
slight bugs, and works perfectly 99% of the time. Now, perhaps Microsoft is taking that 
rout. Perhaps Microsoft is updating narrator for a reason, that is, to make it even better 
in the future. I've heard that even now it can read web-pages. I'm not sure how well it does 
this, but I've heard that it does. And Microsoft is actually making better voices, and not 
only that, they're making voices for languages other than English, something Apple hasn't 
done yet, something apple has had to get in with Neuance to do. And really, Microsoft's 
voices are truly amazing! How many voices have you used that can say "Cats live nine 
lives," correctly? And Zirra sounds just amazing! Now, all they have to do is emprove 
the responsiveness, which they're probably working on now, and it'll be perfect for screen 
reader usage. And, something more, Microsoft is aparently planning to have Narrator on their 
Windows phone 8. This will surely bring a lot of phones to the accessibility realm. And, 
Microsoft will have brought accessibility to the mobile platform a little faster than Apple 
did, seeing that Windows 8 will be  released a while before Windows Phone 8 is, since true 
ccessibility will be brought to both platforms at nearly the same time. I'm sure that the 
first few versions of Narrator will be bad. But so was Voiceover. But what we have to keep 
in mind is that Microsoft is actually trying. They're trying to help us, and all we're doing 
is sitting here saying that Microsoft is somehow afraid of Freedom Sciencefiction and GW 
Micro? LOL. Just look at what they've done with Narrator, and windows 8 in general? They've 
added more keyboard shortcuts in Windows, added several, and I mean several, commands to 
narrator, they've added some sort of object navigation to Narrator, and made several, and I 
mean several, new voices. And the largest voice is 25MB, which is one of the Chinese voices 
which can speak English quite well, and is very high-quality. Nah, Microsoft isn't scared of 
FS or GW Micro.Come talk with other NVDA users on irc.blufudge.net #NVDA
