To understand what a video intercept manager is, and which task it
performs, you first need to understand how jaws works on complex
graphic user interface of windows.
Jaws has its own special way to obtain information about the screen
and the control (window) you're working with. have you heard of
graphic device interface (GDI)? If not, then, keep in mind that
whatever elements (whether pictures, characters, colors and vice
versa) exhibit on the moniter, are handled by this GDI. GDI stores and
processes all the graphic related requests. Now, as you've got a basic
idea about GDI and windows graphic management, it is worth notable
that jaws relies heavily on this GDI to get information about
graphics, text and colors of the screen and current control. This is
all done by video intercept manager, which captures screen with the
help of certain GDI functions, extracts helpful information about
current control for visually challanged people, and lastly provides it
to the main application of jaws which, with the combined efforts of
other utilities of jaws such as config manager, script manager,
keyboard manager, dictionary manager ETC. gathers enough and relevant
information to be verbalized by the speech engine (Eloquence).
So now, you can understand that without video intercept manager, jaws
cannot perform its work partially. "partially?" yes, partially.
Because as other screen reader applications, jaws also uses Microsoft
active accessibility (MSAA) to obtain information about the current
control, but to be more accurate and explicit, it uses video intercept
manager.
Remember: if you're facing problems in terms of video intercept
manager, reinstall your graphic drivers from the mother board CD.
