Hi Jim, Yes. Accessing the various screen readers is very similar. To access Jaws on Jaws 8 and above there is a Com component called the FSAPI. That's short for Freedom Scientific API.You initialize it like any other Windows Com component and simply pass strings of text to the functions in the FSAPI. I don't remember the functions right off the top of my head, but I followed the documentation they sent me and it was a piece of cake.
I think the only screen reader I know of that doesn't have a Com based interface is NVDA. I think you have to link directly to the NVDA Controller Client directly, but that might have changed. At any rate writing a wrapper for various screen readers in Visual Basic 6 or Visual Basic .NET is a fairly straight forward process. At least for current versions of the various screen readers.
