Windows is a disgraceful operating system with excellent screen readers.

@Kingslayer @PepperTheVixen this is true

@mcourcel @PepperTheVixen lol!

@TheQuinbox @PepperTheVixen And linux? Ah, the rag of the rags!

@PepperTheVixen Actually, Voiceover is very good on MacOS. It's 10 times faster than NVDA, and it is stable.

[jackf723@mastodon.social]

@KoRn2012_private @PepperTheVixen Stable. Until it locks up and says not responding, on a fully maxed out Mac Studio. Stable, until you run into their piss-poor ARIA implementation, the fact that you can't select text in any browser other than Safari, and let's not even mention true text-editing.

@KoRn2012_private How did you calculate its speed relative to NVDA?

@pixelate @PepperTheVixen Fenrir is the top tier of terminal screen readers, yes? If you can get past the audio fuckery?

[pepperthevixen@meow.social]

@x0 @pixelate I've only ever used Speakup on the terminal. What's Fenrir like?

[x0@dragonscave.space]

@PepperTheVixen @pixelate I've never used it myself, as I don't use Linux besides SSH and WSL. But I've heard good things about it from hardcore Linux people like Daniel Nash and a few other less hardcore ones.

@PepperTheVixen @x0 Fenrir is okay. I don't really use pure console. Terminal emulators, terminals on GUI, work for me with Orca.
