nothing at all wrong with it if you happen to be in the haves/rich camp.

There is one fundamental flaw with this Email. They are no longer Freedom Scientific.

Also, what is wrong with capitalism? People can vote with their feet. In the latest Windows 10 2004, Narrator itself is getting so good that I even think it is as good as NVDA now.

All the best

Freedom Scientific is the largest manufacturer that produces assistive technology solutions worldwide. Nonetheless, it manipulates this throttled market through base policy. At its inception, it charges visually impaired clients so high to qualify them licensed to use Jaws, for certain time. After their license period has expired, they are required to upgrade, through paying substantial amount to temporarily use the license again and after awhile, it eventually expires. You are now trapped in this vicious cycle. To perpetually use their Jaws, you have got to pay them money, relentlessly. And, despite what they throw at you in their unvalued mendings, updates etc, you ought to give them money, with a smile. Even scripts which are additional elements destined to enhance performance, are going to cost you a fortune. Now, the question here shall naturally be, why? What for do I need to pay all this, to obtain a not so well given product?
People are generically enslaved to this concept. Jaws has somewhat influenced its users to unconsciously pay to keep upgraded, without asking themselves, um, is it really worth it? Freedom Scientific takes advantage of its broadly mega establishment to tremendously dominate more people and trammel them into the Jaws immense delusion. I fortuitously, have wholly emancipated myself from this grave deceit.
Why am I need to be infinitely impounded to such capitalistic entity?
Furthermore, by doing so, Freedom Scientific explicitly violates human rights declaration recognised by United Nations consignment, which plainly states, that equal access of information is eminently professed to everyone. Thence, I mutually urge firm Jaws users and Freedom Scientific staff to interact with this proposition. I do not attempt here to politicise the matter. But for certain, this conversation has got an ethical scope affiliated with it. I am keen to stiffen this useful discussion and exchange opinions. I personally feel so comfortable using open source solutions. What about you folks?
Do you feel somewhat compelled to stick to Jaws, despite the fact, that it costs you more than what it actually deserves? Is the money you pay worth what Jaws offers? I in this undisclosed list, have included Freedom Scientific representatives, to hear their perspective as well. I just hope, not to be shunned, disposed or affronted based on my sentimental notions. I now look forward to hearing from people, everywhere across the globe. Thanks for reading, Mustafa
