Yes I've read that article that announced that, and I really wish Orca to be much advanced than Jaws, but until then...

Also remember that Sun's Peter Korn and his access project just got 12
million Euros to put into the access projects.  If they just put a few
hundred thousand into hiring some coders for the Orca project they will
advance that OS past jaws in less than a year.

don't forget that jaws is not a microsoft software and, taking software only

from the two grand companies, sun is better than microsoft.
Because, with orca you can do more than with narator from windows.
So Sun has right assuming it as the best company offering an advanced os
with speak.

Windows is an operating system with speech included. Do you want to create

a
better OS than Windows and a better screen reader than Narrator?
I guess you want to create a better one, because otherwise... why bother?

In order to do that, you should create a company, employ a few thousands
of
good programmers and after very many years you might do it.
Sun Microsystems has tens of thousands of programmers and they pretend
that
they have created the most advanced operating system in the world, and
they
have also made one of the most used screen readers for Linux, but the
accessibility offered by their solutions is much lower than the one
offered
by Windows and screen readers like Jaws, and Sun work on their OS for very
many years, so... it could be very hard to do what you want.

Hello; Listers, I just thought.  What do I have to do to create a
operating system with speech.  I just thought about this.  Can this be
done? Please write back.
From Jose Lomeli.
