hmmmm, top of my head would say window eyes then hal, and would not mind seeing 
NVDA given a seat officially in a real world working application, instead of 
the other way around as is normal

  Subject: Screen Reader Compatibility


  Hi folks,

  We're working hard out here on screen reader compatibility on the 
Sappy/Sodbeans projects in NetBeans. We're trying to decide which screen 
readers we should make our code compatible with. We realistically can't do all 
of them in the short term and we are starting with Jaws/ OSX Voice Over. Once 
those are complete, any suggestions on what screen readers the community would 
prefer come next? Any preferences?

  We were thinking maybe a unix flavor screen reader, perhaps Orca, but are 
open to suggestions. What does the community think?
