[nvda] Re: window-eyes7 beta with scripting

Hi,
I guess it depends on what you want to do with your computer that will make the 
decision on what screen reader or readers you will want to use. for me, if NVDA 
does something better than jaws or window-eyes then I will use it. but I will 
always need window-eyes or system access because there are many things that you 
just need video intercept for.

  Perhaps a better perspective on it.  If it were not for NVDA, perhaps Window 
Eyes would have never felt the need to add a scripting language into their 
screen reader.  To me it just shows they feel affordable screen readers like 
System Access and NVDA to be a threat to their bottom line, $$$.  I know that 
since I made the switch to Vista installing Window Eyes has not even been in 
consideration.  I know for a fact that NVDA and narrator are the only 2 screen 
readers I know of that can work with the media center in vista.  Jaws, Window 
Eyes and System access all cause media center to hang because of their video 
intercept or display hooks.  So for me, let them have their scripting language, 
to me and to many others it comes down to not having to pay anything extra to 
use a computer simply because we are that so called niche market called the 
blind.  I still refuse to give GW Micro 900 dollars to use their product for a 
year.

    How about we do this?  let the list owner do his job.  While I agree josh 
should have not posted this information to this  list I don't see any reason 
why he  should be treated rudely etc.  

    It is up to the list owner to take any action they might see fit.  Hth
