This is good to know.

As such, if we wanted to add NVDA support, should we wait a month? We don't
really have time on the development docket before release anyway, so maybe
that's a good way to go.

Jamal, are you planning on adding NVDA support into Say Tools, and did you
by chance ever find the time to send us the location of the source for say
tools. I know you said it was open source, but we looked and couldn't find
it.
