Re: [orca-list] Important: Web accessibility survey for screen reader users

Greetings all,

Time to clear up some things:

First we have "Screen Power":

, which can be downloaded from here:

Next up we have "Blindows":

(Sorry for those who do not speak German, or is that douch? Anyway, can't translate the page.)

 

Followed by "Virgo4":

So, Blindows, which was originally an "Audiodata" product, was purchased by Baum in Germany. Virgo, was the newer genration of "Blindows." So, where does "Cobra"  come in?

Cobra, is Screen Power, Blindows, and Virgo, "combined!" Cobra is for Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Windows 8 support was never made officially, though does work I hear.

Last version of Blindows was 4.6, while last version of Virgo was 4.7. Thus, Cobra started with version 9.

Ah, yes, that Macintosh screen (which was also on Windows,) was called "OutSpoken."

Yes, the 20 minute demo does "still" exist in the Way Back Machine. At least, for the Mac.

Speaking of that screen reader which was before Orca:

Yes, after all these years, that site above "still" exists!

Alright, this email is getting a bit long now...

Have a good one folks!
