Hello Chelsea, Have a play. I'm afraid I don't have access to any of the software you mentioned although I believe CoolEdit was once used to record a Window-Eyes tutorial several years ago.
The best thing you can do is try running Window-Eyes with DAD and CoolEdit Pro and see what happens. If you can, book some extra time to yourself in front of the console/machine where DAD is running. Window-Eyes is naturally very different to any other screen reader, though probably only in ways people with no direct experience of working with screen readers cannot understand. Since you will be using both Window-Eyes and DAD, the more time you can spend trying them out, the better. Hopefully you have access to Window-Eyes 7.0. If not, you may find it worth your while either obtaining it yourself, or else trying to convince those responsible for its deployment in your environment to go ahead and order it. Should scripting prove necessary, you will only be able to take advantage of it with Window-Eyes 7.0. However so far, speaking as one with a little knowledge of scripting with Window-Eyes, I have only found the need to use scripts at all in one or two applications. Let us know how you get on or if there's anything else we can do to help. Good luck!
