Hi all,
Although we've been discussing this on the scripting group, I wanted to let everyone here know what I found. For some reason I did not have the java runtime installed on my Win7 pc; you can tell if this is the case by pressing enter (in windows explorer) on a ..jar file, and having Windows prompt you for the application to run, or having it launch the incorrect application (such as WinRAR). In this case, you go to java.com and download and install java. Next, you go to the WE start menu, and run the java access bridge installer. Finally, and importantly, you reboot (even though you may not be prompted to do so). At that point, I pressed enter on the lunar.jar file, java ran it, and WE spoke it's controls. I know nothing about guitars, or these types of files, so I can't test further, but I believe it's working with WE now.

So the plot thickens...the developer of the Lunar Tab accessible software said he tested it with NVDA and Java Access Bridge for the pc. I tried it but the NVDA kept crashing. My question is since the program is written in Java, can a script be written for the Lunar Tab program in Window Eyes? And if that is the solution, what would be the best scripting language to use? Thank you.

The mystery of why the Lunar Guitar Tab program not working is solved. It is meant to work with Mac and Voice Over. I looked at the files again and there was a file that Window Eyes read, but did not understand what it was saying. I asked someone to read the file name and it was Mac Osx, but since I'm not used to hearing the Mac file extensions, it just ran together and figured it had something to do with the code. So I'll have to try it on a Mac with Voice Over and see how it goes. Thank you all that have replied and contributed to my education.

I just found an open source program on google which will take power and guitar-pro tabs and put them into instruction form so that a blind person could use all of the free tabs online to learn songs. The program seems to do a good job of putting the tabs into instruction form, but the pproblem that I'm having is that Window Eyes is not voicing anything from the program. I had my son check it out and he said the program is translating the tab, so how do I get Window Eyes to navigate and read the program. I'm running WE7.11 with Windows XP and java 7.00. Here is the link for the program: http://code.google.com/p/lunartabspro/ Thank you. Wanda If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
