My feeling on this one is that the main issue for the post when it first appeared was we did not know the application or the needs of the poster. If it was a special app, that only exists as it was commissioned by the company using it, then to me its only right that that company should make it accessible themselves, even if that means paying somebody to do it. if on the other hand its a mainstream app which has not been covered and the company is willing under their licence to let a scripter have a copy, then I see no real barriers to somebody doing it.

Hi, I usually don't respond like the one you read below, but I think it must be said: All I can say is, "this is 2010's." I personally WILL NOT tolerate the kinds of sentiment expressed below. Statements such as, "if you want customized and paid scripts, use JAWS", is, to me, outright unacceptable. I might add that statements like the one I paraphrased is hindrance, not hope, and it builds barriers instead of opening the doors for many. I think one of the reasons why there's really no professional uptake for NVDA (for now) is that we are too comfortable with our comfort zones, thus some may not show willingness to write professional add-ons, but that's changing. Thus I would like to give my full support to an angel who can and is willing to write and share a custom NVDA add-on for the app in question.

Who ask to? Well you probably should use jaws, people in companies use jaws for that and buy jaws scripts. Nvda is opensource, I am not sure if anyone would do a payed addon well due to the opensource nature I don't even know if the licence terms allow for someone to make a payed addon for a single user. True we have synths but even so. On 10/01/2018 11:19 p.m., Brian's Mail list account via Groups.Io wrote: I think at the moment if this is an in house piece of software its |
