I'm afraid so! But, unlike M$'s products, it will not take 5 years after a
product release to make it accessible. I know for a fact that Mozilla
developers are working diligently to incorporate accessibility features.
The Firefox movement is quite popular. The screen reader manufacturers will
have to respond quite quickly to stay ahead of the competition.

It helps, in other words, we have to wait until the screen readers or
software makers catch up with each other.
