QT promised something it couldn't (wouldn't?) deliver upon. Given that the author explicitly wrote them with questions about it and was effectively lied to, his ire is both understandable and justified IMO.

What more should we expect of him?

Did they promise JAWS support?

The article claims they did, but the author uses a paraphrase instead of a direct quote. From the article:

"No problem. Qt works on Linux, Mac and Windows, and if you find any problems, just report them to us and we are going to fix them."

However without a direct quote, it's hard to tell if that's an accurate representation or not.

They don't mention any screen readers; their documentation only calls out backend accessibility specs without any mention of popular specs (UIA) they don't support.
