Hi all
I raise this query with a feeling that whatever screen readers we develop we are always at least one step behind the main stream applications, more so, when our screen readers interact with proprietary non-windows platform based apps. So I'd like our hardware experts out here to throw a light on this "mystery" of computing cycle. I would like to know what is preventing the display components in the computer to send the necessary output directly to the speakers as they would do on the monitor screen? The point is, somehow I do not understand the complete picture of computing cycle. I'd like it if I can get an explanation on it in a "layman's language". Be that as it may, as soon as you turn on your mobile / pc the output appears on the screen while the device is booting but you will have to wait if you'd want your screen reader to announce the output. So somewhere there is a disconnection between you and the computer. I really appreciate the screen reader technology, but I'm also interested in the alternatives to screen readers, and would like to lend my assistance in the ways I can. Some of my wildest thoughts that are running in my mind are how could we get the motherboard / processor vendors to make their future generation components Braille display / speech compliant.
