To the best of my knowledge, some Windows screen readers still have off-screen models of the GUI which are built up by monitoring calls made to video drivers. The Windows and IBM OS/2 architectures make this solution viable, for use when accessibility APIs are not supported by an application. This technique is not used in any other operating system. OS X, iOS, Linux, Chrome OS and Android all use accessibility APIs exclusively as far as I know. Also, I'm not sure that all MS-Windows screen readers build off-screen models, although those written in the early to mid 1990s used to and probably still do, as necessary. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
