@menelion No problem. I'll do that later tonight.
I am a blind technologist, humanist, a voracious devourer of books, speaker, writer, and a thinker, who finds himself championing #accessibility for fun and necessity. I'm currently exploring the complex world of AR and VR worlds to find best ways to achieve full accessibility for disabled people.
Oh and give me your fun book recommendations: be it nonfiction, science fiction and fantasy, romance, mystery, and more.

@menelion My feedback has more to do with the UI than anything else. I'd like to see the language filters be a little more flexible. Either group voices by language, so that picking English will show Australian, UK, etc or allow multiple languages to be chosen in the filter.

@menelion Would you prefer feedback for the voices here or through the beta channel?

@menelion Either $3.99 per voice for a perpetual license or $20 for the whole set. @kellylford

@darrell73 The fear is real. people are actively and Vociferously working to shun people who use these glasses. I agree with Jonathan. At times, I hesitate to wear them outside right now. The problem gets multiplied if we consider that these generalized sweeps are likely to affect *specialized* solutions that some blind people will have. @JonathanMosen

@menelion Oh I completely agree. These days, I rarely use Word to do anything at all. That's why I was using the NVDA addon. @TheQuinbox

@menelion I used to use the built-in Word keyboard command all the time. MDash was a valid grammatical punctuation, not tjust the way LLMs use it. In most cases, they use it incorrectly. This keyboard command is nice to have though. I can get rid of one of my NVDA addons. @TheQuinbox

@menelion Evidently, retro is vogue at Microsoft. VM usage wasn't as high in XP and 7 days. @FreakyFwoof

@menelion And yet, many people managed to do it. I'm pretty sure they've managed to come up with tricks to avoid that kind of pirating. See the latest tracking efforts for how they can manage this.

@menelion Didn't they do this with Win 7 and XP?
