Hi Willie!

Thanks for your extensive and well-worded summary.

I agree that it is necessary to have cooperation between screen readers and 
self-voicing applications, I am glad to hear that you also plan to support 
SpeechDispatcher.

We cannot implement speech support in every applications, so screen readers 
are extremely important to have. At the same time, some users prefer 
self-voicing applications because screen readers by their nature lack GUI 
integration with the applications. I don't see this as an either/or - we need 
both.

Olaf
