OK, subject line is a big claim, but this guy does tell us some home truths about access tech. Many have, maybe deliberately, tried to make out that I and other critics have it wrong about costs and technical realities. Well, I guess I'll have to live with that, but I largely agree with what is said at the blogg belowe. that's not to say criticisms cannot be levelled else where; but this is a good place maybe to start if an informed discussion is what you are interested in. So, go to: http://therangerstation.blogspot.com/ Then search for, truth about assistive technology industry This'll bring you to what the author describes as a rant about Vista and assistive tech - although not the usual MS and other bad boys of the industry sort of bashing. Seems some interesting things are going to become apparant very soon now, re. Vista and new screen reader releases, and a flavour of this has already surfaced on GW Micro's list, but enough for now.
