This second article in a two-part series looks at Aira user experiences. I
interviewed three Aira "explorers," two of whom work for Aira. I also
evaluated Aira myself and will describe my own impressions.

I decided to install Windows 10 Creators Edition and put Narrator through
its paces. This is by no means a comprehensive review, but my impressions
should give you a good idea as to whether you wish to do your own evaluation
of the screen reader.

Accessibility is core to the development of the Weather Gods app. The
reasonable price, the developer's commitment to accessibility, and the
planned enhancements to the product make it worth checking out.
