Avast! 5 screen reader incompatibility
« on: November 19, 2010, 11:48:41 AM »
Hello, I am Aleksandar from Serbia, 25 old visually impaired man. I used avast! 4.8 more years, and its worked great with our screen reader JAWS. Version 5 disappointed awhole blind community around the world with screen reader unfriendly interface. You released on a later date version 5.0.677, where you noticed on your press release, that its now good with screen readers. However, its still needs changes and repairments to work as before... I wish to ask Avast! personell, how can I help you and work together with you, your developers and beta testers to make future versions better for thousands blind people around the world? I will be here to help in all matter. Thanks. Currently, most of us had to change security products from your competitors do the known problem...

Yonatan is the man to ask.
I'll send you a PM, so you can get in touch with him.

Asyn, the OP can't get/receive PM's because of his newbie status.

Asyn, I'm going to send you a PM.

You're welcome..!
Btw, I got a user with similar problems in the German section and Yonatan said that the problems should be fixed in version 5.1...
But feel free to contact him, if you want to help improve/beta-test avast.

@ kariuro,

The link you posted does not seem to work.  Is that the correct link?
