Re: NVDA and the audible app

Eventually covers a long period of potential
time. Are they going to cause problems for Windows 7 users and Windows 8
users while there are still many around? This sounds like something that
may be perhaps three years away. I don't know when support for Windows 8
ends and support for Windows 7 is ending a little over a year from
now.
Also, why assume the worst case? Why contact
blindness organizations first? Why not discuss it with Audible and see
what happens. Audible has a good record on accessibility. If there
is a problem, talking with them may cause it to be solved.

Subject: Re: [nvda] NVDA and the audible app arrogant in the extreme in my view. I'd actually report this to the blind organisations in the country they are in and let them have a poke at them. I would imagine they might well be shooting themselves in the foot if they stop supporting things that actually work in favour of some snazzy heap of windows app which is a format many people seem to think ill conceived and pretty dire even for the sighted. Yes its probably more secure, but that is not the main issue. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.
