Hello,

VLC 1.0.0 has complete accessibility for Windows.
It works both with NVDA and Windows Reader.

The fact that you are probably using JAWS that doesn't respect the
accessibility standard is NOT our problem. Complain to your screen
reader seller, not us.

I am more than pissed off by your attitude and your FUD.

Best regards, or not.
