Talk:Comparison of screen readers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Product description
I've removed some boilerplate product description from the entry for Thunder. It doesn't add useful information, and if everyone drops by and does this the page will look like an advertising catalogue, and I don't think that's what a List is for! Perhaps an entry on Thunder would be better? Alasdairking
[edit] Links on this page
Authors, try not to add links to pages that are trying to sell software, since it just creates work for editors. Conversely, editors could you please check that links are in fact trying to sell something before removing them on those grounds? For example, the links to discontinued product information (outSPOKEN), the WayBack archive for sites that no longer exist (WindowBridge), and to a university's software directory for an ancient piece of shareware (TinyTalk) are clearly (I would have thought) not commercial links in that sense and primarily of historical interest. If editors disagree with me on this, would replacing the outSPOKEN and TinyTalk links with WebCite links be an acceptable compromise? Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis 09:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Would you clarify, with reference to the Wikipedia policy documents? For example, if I were detailing JAWS, I would link to the Freedom Scientific website, since they develop it. If this is incorrect, what is the correct approach? Many thanks, Alasdair King 4 July 2007
[edit] Market-Share
Given this large list, I'd like to see a short-list of high market-share screen readers; I came to this page hoping to find out what the major players are besides JAWS, and I'm guessing that's a common reason to come here. It also seems like relevant information given that this is supposed to be a comparison of screen readers, and not just a list. If anyone has a good source for market-share information, I would welcome the addition to the page (either as a separate short list, or as an additional column in the big table).
