What about scripting for Jaws? -----Original Message----- From: Scripting [mailto:scripting-bounces+dennisl1982=gmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Cohn via Scripting Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2017 10:53 AM To: Chip Orange; Window-Eyes Scripting List Subject: Re: migrating apps
Mr Lee of NVAccess / NVDA proposed on twitter yesterday having a one day class on scripting NVDA. I guess it is time to learn Python. Anybody interested in doing a set of regular discussions like Chip did way back to migrate our common knowledge into NVDA scripting knowledge? I wonder how difficult it would be to have an NVDA that emulates the favorite parts of WindowEyes. I expect the hardest part considering that NVDA doesn't appear to have a virtual mode would be the User Windows functions but then it seems that WindowEyes wasn't supporting that very aggressively.
