Hi. Just herd part of the audio you posted and thank you BTW. Of course Eric Damery is going to tow the VFO line. I don’t see Narrator disrupting what NV Access has done so well since 2006. I’m a very happy NVDA user. I’ve been using it
since 2011 full time. It has gotten better and better in the past 3 years since MS brought WIN 10 into the picture. I think NVDA will be around for years to come and VFO Group will still push for the stupid screwed up pricing model which is totally uncalled
for for those of us who live with fixed incomes here in the US and the poor who are blind worldwide. Viva la NVDA as I always say.

That’s great Devin!
The assistive tech department here teaches NVDA, and other low-cost solutions, although iPhone is still taught for blind people, but Android is used by many low-vision people.

Yes there are deliberate lies going on with those blind organisations about alternative products. What they fail to take into account
is that there are cutbacks going on in education, employment, and funding can only go so far. Not only that, but when the cutbacks begin to bite, these organisations will be forced to seek out cheaper things such as NVDA. At that point, they may go with NVDA.
What also surprises me is that VFO hasn't even put up their prices yet!

Same thing happens over here, in POland. Altix, the local distributor of
JAWS, has recently released a series of articles about Jamie leaving NV
Access for Mozilla even though he did this a long time ago and about all
the features NVDA doesn't have and JAWS does. I've even heart accounts
of people who were told by altix representatives that NVDA is dangerous
to their computers and that it might fry their motherboards, though I
don't know if those who retold the story were speaking the truth or
merely exaggerating.
This seems like pressure from Freedom Scientific to promote JAWS.

I have just listened to the latest issue of Techtalk from the RNIB in
the uk on Audioboom, and there is an interview with the software man at
VFO about what they sell and future plans, and the guy asked him about
NVDA Though not actually trashing it, he used that old ploy that one of
the programmers has now left to go to Mozilla and nobody will install
NVDA in a business system because its open source etc. anyway, go and
have a listen and see what you think. I guess his job is to big up his
own company, but I noticed, dear old Dolphin never even got mentioned!
