Finally, after at least 3 decades, we finally have a way to navigate logically through complex Word documents **natively** in Office, with no screen reader DOM hackery.

@sclower Oh that figures. Not surprised that's where he ended up
@Bri Yup, he's been at Microsoft since the end of 2017.

@sclower just a shame Window-Eyes couldn't be open sourced.

@Bri @sclower Say with browsers, there are a lot of forks and divergent. Why do you think it's not happening in the #screenreader world? Like forks of NVDA? Harder to maintain? I am thinking about those vanished close source screen readers like thunder and Bom

@kaveinthran @sclower I don't know, but I find myself wondering this more and more with NVDA's decline.

@Bri @kaveinthran My take is that while forking is possible, the reality is that a screen reader is a huge investment of time and resources, for a super small percentage of the world's population. To make a sustainable long-term fork would require a major commitment that I don't think any lone individual wants to shoulder.

@sclower @Bri I don't think so forking should be very ambitious, I would like to call the great efforts by some people that created portable version of NVDA, with their own sets of customisation, a very beginning way of forking I should say. They distributed them Publicly for common use. @Tamasg portable #nvda is fun to use. Like a nvda distro.

Where do I find Portable NVDA? At least, the one you are talking about? I tried looking through their repositories and I see a torrent client, blind RSS, and other things. @kaveinthran @sclower @Bri @serrebi
