I neither have the inclination to pay for tech support of a paid produc! nor do I have Windows 10. If this product added features that meant they needed to charge, I'd gladly pay because they are prompt and helpful although this week and last was hectic because of Csun but even when I can't get tech support right away, people from the office let me know that my messages have been received and are being worked on. I do agree people should be rewarded for their hard work if this cost some money I'd pay it. It kind of like the way it gives you so many options for how can read the text, and you can separate out voice parts, slow tempo, analyze chords, filter what info you actually want read, so yes while I applaud Dancing thots for being out there when noone was, I'm glad to see other people offouing alternatives. One size does not fit all in blindness products just like it doesn't in products for everyone. Some people love Mac and hate Windows. You can still accomplish the same thing just in different ways. And also to be blunt, not everyone according afford Dancing Dots software. We already for screenreaders if we use Jaws. I just know a lot of people who have been frustrated with the Dancing Dots software and rarely use it any more because of some of the incompatibilities. Maybe I'm wrong maybe it works with Windows 10 now. Does it?
