[gui-talk] NV Access Announces Release of NVDA 2014.1

[Rob Kaiser]

ALso, you have heard the saying "
You get what you pay for." I'm sure this software is good in some cases, but 
in a work setting, there is nothing like jaws which hI have used since 1998 
or one of the other speech synthisizers.

Beware! Free ain't free! If you want anything but Microsoft's voices for WE,
you'll have to pay for them. And there's *no* human support provided. I do
not quarrel with this; I merely believe that we should call a spade a spade
and not guild the lilly. Moreover, while NVDA is getting better, it still
isn't there for serious work in job settings.

How about let's all of us refrain from prognosticating about the future of
this or that screen-reader or firm and celebrate what we have.

This screen reader keeps getting better and better. Really, there is little
if any reason to pay for an expensive screen reader anymore, between this
and the free version of window eyes that is available if you have office
2010 or newer.
