well, we will have to agree to disagree. I personally would not really care if the jaws people didn§t buy my product just because i refused to support a bad product on my production. I'd worry on investing on the large NVDA community, for instance, which is way more flexible. supposing fs does not change their policys, what is the reason people still use a screen reader who's developer do not listen to customers? -----Mensagem original----- De: "Bryan Peterson" <bpeterson2...@cableone.net> Para: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Data: Terça, 4 de Janeiro de 2011 07:54 Assunto: Re: [Audyssey] BGT and Screen Reader API's
Actually no, you couldn't support just one screen reader and get away with it. The users of the unsupported ones would chew you out. I do happen to feel that JAWS sucks but if I made a game that supported only Window-Eyes I'd be chewed out for playing favorites. And I'm sure people have been trying to get FS to change their policies for years with no success.

I disagree. you can support only one, indeed. and in fact, this owuld be a reason for the complainers to actually try to get fs t change its policy. -----Mensagem original----- De: "Bryan Peterson" <bpeterson2...@cableone.net> Para: "Philip Bennefall" <phi...@blastbay.com>,"Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Data: Terça, 4 de Janeiro de 2011 07:32 Assunto: Re: [Audyssey] BGT and Screen Reader API's That could pose a problem. Window-Eyes doesn't do that but then you couldn't just support Window-Eyes. And from what I've heard it's a pain in the arse to get JAWS to not hog the keyboard.
