Hello. I am a user of a screen reader living in Turkey. We want the Emel voice, which is used as a text-to-speech voice in Microsoft services such as Microsoft Edge Chromium, Office 365, based on Azure, to be used in Windows screen readers. We find Emel voice more successful than Tolga Mobile voice. There is an excessive pause problem only in punctuation and at the end of the sentence. I think that is because it is server based. I think it will perform better if the Emel synthesizer is running on the device and integrated into Windows 10. Thank you from now. Best regards...

A growing number of software developers such as Postbox Inc and Mailbird are copying Apple's ultra thin scroll bars with no left / right & up / down arrows when creating applications for Windows.

This recent trend has introduced the issue of scroll bar inaccessibility to Windows users, making life increasingly difficult for people like myself who has arm control difficulties. Should this trend continue, many disabled people will face an increasingly limited choice of software due to companies who place "innovative looks" over accessibility.

Please Microsoft, introduce an Ease of Access option that forces ANY Windows application to have conventional scroll bars with left / right & up / down arrows, plus the option of changing the scroll bar's width (currently only possible by editing the Registry) and applying colour schemes to the components of the scroll bar. The chosen configuration should override the scroll bar coded into any application.

I feel sad that I have to make this suggestion as it has been made necessary only because of a trend started by Apple's Mac OS X 7, which has now been adopted by companies producing Windows software in an effort to be "innovative" in the design of their graphical user interface. No decline in accessibility, and telling disabled people to buy somebody else's software (as happened to me after an updated application that I own became inaccessible) is acceptable in 2020, and only Microsoft can stop this worrying trend by creating a new "Scroll Bar" category in Ease of Access.

I use Zoomtext with full screen magnification and this works well for pretty much most things however am having issues with Teams. I don't use a screen reader as i'm also deaf, so am relying solely on magnification. In Teams the toolips and popups that are continuously appearing on mouseover obscure what you're trying to read. In a video meeting, the captioning disappears before you can finish reading it - as you have to move the screen around to read it with the level of magnification I use. Is there a way to have toe captioning appear in its own window with the ability to scroll down as you read rather than refreshing it with new text? I also don't get much time to look at the actual video when trying to read this textthough so don't need toe video streaming but don't see a way to get the captioning without it. Is Audio to Text also being added, similar to captioning so I can 'listen in' on audio meetings too? These improvemetns would al lbe great to have in future releases of Teams

It would be great that a specific keyboard shortcut can be assigned to the Windows keyboard input language in the Language Settings.
At the moment, as screen reader user, I can swich the keybord language by pressing alt+shift. As I speak many languages I have many keyboard languages installed, and, by pressing alt+shift, I have to cycle through the complete list of languages each time when I want to change the keyboard language.

Example:
I am writing this text in English and, at the same time, I have a chat in French and Italian. As I have 7 more keyboard languages installed, each time I have to cycle through all of them to get to the right one.
It would be easier if I can assign as user a shortcut to each keyboard language (that is not already used in other apps) and swich it more easily.
I think this is interesting to all users who speak many languages and use daily many different keyboard languages.

Issue present in Win XP, 7, 8, 10 (including latest fast ring)

Summary
When using sticky keys on windows 10, the left and right sides control (ctrl), Alt and shift keys are independently activated without a visual display or sound, making it clear enoughdifficult to distinguish between left and right sides. Further when activating the right hand side sticky keys with the setting of double press activate (push the key twice and it not only toggles but it holds down the key pushed indefinitely) it can be override by the left keys one push if the right key was the original activated sticky key.
Essentially the sounds that let users know the activation of a sticky key has occurred, do not respect whether it was the left or right (or whether its first shift/ctrl/alt key or the second).
Why this is important
There are systems that allow you to use the left or right shift key (and alt/ctrl keys) for different shortcuts/functions and if you are not able to hear the difference or see it and you rely either on the audio or visual cues then it becomes less clear which key you activated or if you have to use another key later the display does not tell you which key it was.
Simple Recommendation
Change the notification area icon to show left and right modifier keys easily and change the sounds so that it is clear which key is being activated/de-activated. In other words, have a set of notification icons for the left side sticky keys (shift/ctrl/win/alt), and have a set of notification icons for the right side sticky keys (shift/alt /win/ ctrl)
Steps to reproduce the issues
The issue of the independent keys without separate sounds or display notifications:
The following is an example with the Shift key, however, this is also the same for the Crtl and Alt keys.
1. Activate sticky keys
2. Activate/Press the left shift key and note that the toggle menu on the notification area and the sound alerts you to its activation (you will need to presspush twice to activate the key indefinitely/lock the modifier key on and this should be the default setting from the windows control panel section for sticky keys).
3. Now activate/press the right sticky shift key, as you do you will note that it makes the same sounds but does not change the display icon in the notifications area.
4. Now attempt to deactivate/press the right key, you will notice the sound is correct to alert you to the deactivation but the display area icon does not change.
5. Now deactivates/press the left key and you will hear the correct deactivation/press sound and see the display area change.
6. This can be proved by trying it with the left or right sticky keys for the first key when the double push option is turned off from the control panel (meaning that the sticky key feature works as a toggle to hold down your selected keys for only one natural symbol on the keyboard as opposed to indefinitely holding down the keys).
The issue or item of the left key overriding the right key:
1. Repeat step one and two from above but using the right shift key this time (with the double press to lock\ modifier key enabled from the control panel. enabled
2. Push the left shift key once and you will note the sound is correct and the display shows the shift stick keys deactivated.

The issue for different disabilities:
1. For physical disabilities, unnecessary movements of great distances from one side to the other side of the keyboard can cause user fatigue and extra time doing computer activities.
2. For cognitive or learning disabilities, the lack of clear functions can cause an inability to perform day-to-day tasks with ease and efficiency
