RE: Windows Accessibility

Apologies, that was meant for a different thread! :)

Yes, understood.

We work with screen magnifiers, on screen keyboards and voice input 
software as well.

Realistically, screen readers tend to be the pickiest and most difficult 
to drive changes into. They're also expensive for users to update. I think 
most of the effort goes into screen readers.
