I would rather see Synthavoice put their efforts into a top-quality NT
screen reader. There is a group of us who is working on one for X, and
when it is done (please don't ask when), it will be freely available.
I would hate to see a commercial company devote any resources to a screen
reader for X, when instead they could be concentrating on NT -- the end
result is that there will be two top-quality screen readers, one for each
environment, and that will allow the maximum number of blind people to be
employed in the shortest amount of time, and that is really what should
be driving any development efforts.
