Hi All,


The Windows 10 October 2020 update was released a few days ago. In the 
official Microsoft blog post about what's new, I'm not finding anything 
on accessibility. Do any of the beta testers or early installers here 
know if there are any new features or improvements with Narrator? My 
experience is that a few features never get mentioned in the promotional 
material because they don't seem important when, in actuality,, they 
are. For example, a release or two ago, I was tickled to discover that 
you can now read by sentence, something that wasn't mentioned in 
anything I'd read. I'm hoping for improvements like a Narrator command 
for reading the status bar, improvements to how Narrator announces 
what's being deleted when you use ctrl+backspace or ctrl+del, and 
improvements to Narrator with Excel--all issues which I've reported 
through Feedback. Does anyone have any news?


Btw, the official "What's New" blog post is here:
