TekTalk is delighted to welcome back both Jeff Bishop and Mariah Moon along
with Jeremy Curry. Jeff and Mariah were with us in late 2018 to talk about
Narrator and Windows 10. This time they will also speak to us about new
items in Windows 10 for those who are blind and use a screen reader. All are
on the Windows accessibility team. Jeremy is focused on making Windows
easier to see for people with low vision.
And, they will be happy to share some of the improvements that are being
made in the next version of Windows 10 and to answer questions from the
audience.
