In mud walker even in combat sometimes you can keep up with
information depending on the game. After typing the command "kill"
for example, hit tab key, then VO keys shift and (ed) key which keeps
you at the bottom of the incomming text, you can still of course type
what ever your skills are to use in combat, but seems like any time I
type, have to hit tab key first, then the key combo written above,
then don't have to hear everything for 10 moves before. When in the
bottom of the text though you will have to move around with VO keys
and arrow left and right so you can get off of your score line, ad
hear what's going on. But I tend to play simple games like medievia
and mudlegend which work ok with mudwalker well medievia does,
mudlegend lately, have just clicked on the telnet link on home page
and played in terminal which is slower moving around with VO
sometimes. Sometimes though you are apt to die whether you are
hearing it or not, VO and ED key periodically as you see the
refreshing of your score will give you a quick clue that you are
dying, but whether you can flee in time is a different matter. When
I find the link for mudwalker again will post it through the list,
but some muds do have telnet links which can allow you to play it in
terminal.
Have played with mud cliant Atlantis and it's somewhat accessible for
vo, but didn't play around with it enough to know how accessible it
was. It would never access the particular game I had downloaded it
for, and only tried it briefly on another game or two. But mudwalker
seemed a little more stable as far as VO was concerned verses
Atlantis, but Atlantis is more complex I think.

here is the problem with mac osx
you can get the mud clients to read the text for you automatically
using the speech of the mac. but it works like sapi in windows in
that you can't shut it up smile
now, voice over can be used to read the muds but if you are in
combat by the time you have read what's going on you are probably
killed. Compare this to say, VIP mud in windows.
Jaws and window-eyes automatically read the incoming game text for
you leaving your hands free to play the game

I am trying to find a mud client that works at least well enough
where I can play muds somewhat.
Anyone here use one that works pretty decently and if so how do
you use it and actually get it to work? Thanks.
