Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡I'm starting day three without #JAWS on my new job. While JAWS is sitting there worrying about its missing authorization code and telling me I have to restart and work in 40-minute mode, #NVDA is humming along giving me exactly what I need to keep working! So now we ask which is the truly professional screen reader? #accessibility #Vispero
Vsevolod Popov@darrell73 That is interesting. I heard that in Europe and US JAWS license is provided for work places and for students. Are you simply used to JAWS or there are specific cases where NVDA doesn't really work in software you use? Great that NVDA works for you!
@destranis @Sevapopov How do these European companies justify disallowing #NVDA while still using open-source browsing engines?
NV Access@darrell73 @destranis @Sevapopov Any particular companies? We'd be happy to talk with them! We've had quite a bit of interest lately from Europe, so it's definitely not all of them :)
@destranis @darrell73 @Sevapopov I'd be happy to reach out to them if you would like? I don't need to mention you of course :)
@destranis @darrell73 @Sevapopov While they don't mention open-source on their website, on https://www.evosoft.com/en/company/ they say: "About As a 100% Siemens subsidiary, evosoft GmbH is an international IT company with headquarters in Nuremberg and nearshore partners in Hungary, Romania and Turkey. Tailormade".
Siemens then, have a whole sub-domain focussing on open source: https://opensource.siemens.com/
