Hello, Sue: Iâm not sure I quite follow your line of thinking. What do GW Micro and Freedom Scientific have to do with Windows Phone 8? Perhaps Iâm misunderstanding what you are trying to say. Take care and have a great weekend.

They need to inform folks soon of this. I am talking Freedom Scientific and GW Micro for two.

There was no talk that the menus or settings in the phone were accessible with speech. You can turn on speech for reading of text messages, called stupidly audio confirmation, you can turn on talking caller ID, but nothing about access to the phones functions. This is a disgrace on the part of Microsoft if this is the case. They have been making empty promises about access to their Windows Mobile phone system for the last 4 years at the blind conventions and in meetings. They have also compounded the confusion by creating two other totally different operating systems called Windows 8, and Windows 8 RT. RT wonât even run our screen readers. If anyone has any more specific information on these concerns I would love to hear it.
