I've thrown this challenge at various screen readers over many years, and I guess it's time to throw it at Window-Eyes. :)
I do a lot in console windows--editing, mail and some web browsing using Cygwin programs, etc. There are two areas where this proves very iffy in Windows, and I wonder if Window-Eyes, with or without custom scripting, can address these: 1. When a bunch of text rapidly scrolls by, Windows screen readers often miss chunks of it and/or repeat other chunks more than once. I see new scroll-related events in Beta3 but haven't played with them yet. The goal here would be to have the screen reader be sure not to miss any text (unless, of course, I tell it to shut up). 2. Some screen readers provide a means of skimming by line while text is appearing or, as often of interest to me, after a screen has appeared but while the screen reader is still reading it. JAWS skips to the start of the next line on a press of a Shift key. The old PC Vert system, from ancient DOS days, did this with Ctrl+K if I remember correctly. I'm wondering if Window-Eyes currently provides, or can be made to provide, this functionality somehow. -- Doug Lee, Senior Accessibility Programmer SSB BART Group - Accessibility-on-Demand mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done." --Helen Keller
