Hi Steve and all,
This talk of the enhanced Narrator got me excited but I came across this
while investigating to update my Windows 10 to the 2004 version
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-2004
and there are few articles about those known issues. It looks Microsoft
is preventing devices from updating to 2004 for the time being until
they iron out any issues. Just thought I’d draw people’s attention… I
was going to force the update but I’m holding back now.
Regards,
Amro

Hi all,
I am just playing with Narrator in Windows 2004. To be honest, for pure responsiveness, it blows JAWS and NVDA out the water. I was very surprised, although I shouldn’t be, as it is baked into the operating system.
If they keep this up, they could kill commercial screen readers quite honestly.
Also, because some of the commands are very similar to JAWS now, it’s not a great leap to try Narrator.
Give it a go, you just might be pleasantly surprised.
Even with Outlook now, it goes straight to reading the message automatically, without much preamble, it’s pretty darned good, and I could get used to this.
All the best
Steve
