The link to this demo is http://mark.candleshoreblog.com/2011/09/23/ep100-a-demonstration-of-windows- 8-developer-preview-accessibility/ <http://mark.candleshoreblog.com/2011/09/23/ep100-a-demonstration-of-windows -8-developer-preview-accessibility/> The quality of the voice is excellent and functionality is greatly improved. As someone on the access-uk list commented: i wonder how long it will be before the commercial screen reader providers will take to object to this! Kind regards Aedan. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam. SPAMfighter has removed 5163 of my spam emails to date.
