well it looks at least from the gwmicro win8 podcast that ms is
intigrating all this internally for screen readers which in my view
should have done already!!
Msaa was ok but it only did ms spaciffic controls as far as I understand it.
Sapi was speech, intercepters were needed so the readers could get
data from the graphics card, text and other junk piped to them,
though I don't know the full story.
The mirror driver was to make that so it didn't mangle things when
chains were broken.
Ms is doing the right thing by intigrating this into the os.
However, after getting reader manufacturers to use and or make
multipul libraries, its just a stupid waste of time.
Now we need to fix things so we can get access to the system, that
should have been there in the first place.
It will probably be easier to fix being only 1 set of libs now,
but because we worked with several we have to port which is a real nucence.

What I never got was the reason why screen readers had to use all
the stuff like video intercept and got so little result in using it.
If I can clone my graphics card virtually and the screen reader is
controlling the clone, then why does a screen reader need external
OCR to handle letters?
Moreover, if I have access to the entire screen and all graphic
information, shouldn't i (the program) be capable of reading nearly
anything except for moving and continously morphing pictures out of
the box, so that MS or others thechnically wouldn't need to create a
second voiceOver for Windows?
