Aedan and Eleanor,

Amazing! I tried to open the mp3 file in Internet Explorer 8 with Jaws 10
and it simply slowed down until it stopped at 38% and never went any
further. Then I switched to Mozilla Firefox (latest version) and the file
started to play almost immediately. How do you explain that?

Anyway, I listened to the podcast and was very impressed. The voice quality
is excellent in the new Narrator. I agree with the presenter that it looks
as though it is trying to match VoiceOver in its management of the voice
keys.  It sounds very useful indeed.


All the best,


Cearbhall

Hi Aedan,

Nice one, I am interested in this as it is reported that Microsoft is
going
to include a full screen reader in Windows 8 so any info on this is
valuable.

Paul.

Hi all,
I came on this on the Access-uk list:
Some of you might be interested in a preview of Narrator in Windows 8 due
out some time later. The link to this demo is

http://mark.candleshoreblog.com/2011/09/23/ep100-a-demonstration-of-windows-
8-developer-preview-accessibility/

<http://mark.candleshoreblog.com/2011/09/23/ep100-a-demonstration-of-windows
-8-developer-preview-accessibility/>

The quality of the voice is excellent and functionality is greatly
improved.
As someone on the access-uk list commented: i wonder how long it will be
before the commercial screen reader providers will take to object to this!

Kind regards
Aedan.
