As some of us know, screen readers fall over on vista/7 when certain
error dialogs appear. Usually, speech is lost until the dialog is
closed.
I've found that writing a small application to speak the window
title via sapi usually allows me to get out of it. For example, if
the title is something like program (Not responding), I know that I
can hit alt-f4, and alt-e for end task; speech usually returns. If
it doesn't, I can alt-tab around and read titles to see what's going on.
Something like the following autoit script will do nicely:
; shift f11 speak title, control f11 unload script
$o = objCreate("sapi.spvoice")
hotkeySet("+{f11}", "title")
hotkeySet("^{f11}", "quit")
func title()
$t = winGetTitle("")
$o.speak("", 3)
$o.speak($t, 1)
endFunc
func quit()
beep(1500, 50)
exit
endFunc
while 1
sleep(1000)
wend
