Hi Hayden, Yes, of course it does. All cout does is stream text directly to the console. I can't speak for every screen reader out there, but generally Window-eyes reads the text as soon as it is printed to the display. You can also use older functions like printf(), puts(), etc to display text on the screen and it works fine as far as I can tell. At least with modern Windows screen readers. I know that older versions of JFW and Window-Eyes had problems with the command prompt but that's not the case with current versions of Jaws or Window-Eyes. As you know I've been working on a roll playing game, now this wrestling game, and Jaws 11, NVDA 2010, and Window-Eyes 7.5 read the text as soon as I print it to the display. On Linux using Speakup I can read the text using the review cursor. So there shouldn't be any issues with accessibility as far as I can tell.
