Hi there. I had heard of the idea that blind people were experimenting with
Microsoft Flight Simulator, through people I became friends with on muds
like Galaxyweb. If I recall correctly, FSNavigator was the only thing
around, and the developer may have shut down the project near the second
demonstration's posting on Blindcooltech, making it impossible to purchase
it to get in to this hobby myself. Recently, something triggered me to
search Google to see if anything more modern was around or if this hobby was
still restricted to the FSNavigator license holders that got in before the
shutdown, and I found the site for Itsyourplane. One of the forum posts gave
me a link to some audio demos, but most seem to be with FS 2002 or 2004. I
understand FSX, which is the version sold now can work with the IYP add on,
but will I be able to work with it in JFW? Also, how are those that are
using it getting the Microsoft Speech Recognition system trained so that IYP
will work good? I still have XP yet, so can't use System Access's vista
features to go through the training during the 7-day trial and then running
the simulator with Jaws once I have a speech profile. Before I end up
putting a bunch of money down on IYP and FSX for my machine, can I get the
training of the speech recognition done with no sighted assistance?
Thanks.
