even though it is "readin what is on the screen", it is not getting
that information fromm the screen memory. Instead, VO hooks directly
into the operating system and gets the information at the same time
or even before it is sent to the "screen". Modern "screen readers"
do similar things but not at the level of an api like VO which is
built-in.

Hi folks, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but could someone
please explain the diference between Scren Readers and the talking
interface? what do you mean it doesn't read the scren. As a blind VO
user, i am asuming that what I hear Voice over reading is what is on
the scren at the time it reads it is that not what a screen reader does?
Just curious
