Hello,

Thanks a lot. I absolutely love where Orca is at right now in terms of
what it can do. It just works, and it must be easy enough to learn
since one of my college professors is learning it just so they can
help me with in class materials! Orca is one of those screen readers
where I just feel excitement when I want to use it. And I love that
these updates keep getting better and better!

Keep up the great work!

Thanks again,

Brandon
