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

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

Microsoft would win. I 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
