Travis, as I mentioned in an earlier email, I am the developer of the
software. To my knowledge, but please correct me if I am wrong, there
is currently only one thing that does not work with VoiceOver and
that is the main text entry area. There are two reasons for that, one
is an Apple bug that prevents the text edit technology we use (which
predates Tiger for compatibility reasons) to work correctly with
VoiceOver and the other is that if that text entry area would work
with VoiceOver it would seriously screw up functionality for other
users of our application (because it would cause the same kind of
effect you would get when a mirror looks into a mirror). For the next
version we will again look into this issue and see what can be done
about it, if anything can be done about it. Do note also that this
software is aimed at people with low vision, but not at blind people.
It is aimed at the category of users for whom VoiceOver is overkill
and that navigate with the mouse rather than with the keyboard. If
you know any other areas where Proloquo does not work with VoiceOver
do let me know and we will fix that.
Also, could you explain to me what benefits a blind user would have
when using Proloquo with VoiceOver, I mean, what Proloquo
functionality would enhance your VoiceOver experience? What Proloquo
features would fill up gaps in the VoiceOver functionality?
Thanks,
david.
