Hi Damien, Actually, only Jaws blocks access to DirectInput do to the way it handles keyboard input. Other screen readers such as Window-Eyes, NVDA, System Access, etc don't do this. I've been complaining to Freedom Scientific for years to fix it, and they blow me off.
As a matter of fact I've been testing SDL in my G3D engine and Jaws also blocks SDL input as well. It drives me totally nuts since Window-Eyes 7.2 doesn't have this problem. Makes me want to ring some developers' necks over at Freedom Scientific since they are obviously incompitent programmers and should be fired for the number of bugs in Jaws. Cheers!
