Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's trivia games
THESE GAMES INTERFACE DIRECTLY WITH Sapi so we don't have any sort of jaws readable message that the speech history mode could intercept, so the only way out I see is jim interfacing with the jaws api and calling the braille scripts that way. but then people start complaining hey hey I'm using wineyes! what about me! and so on. - Original Message - From: Kevin Weispfennig kevin.weispfen...@gmx.net To: Charles Rivard woofer...@sbcglobal.net; Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 7:53 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's trivia games I am not exactly sure if you can do that.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's trivia games
Hi Charles, I'm sorry, but you know because my games are self voicing via the free Microsoft sapi5 text to speech engine I don't guess that they would do anything for a braille display. There is just no good way to put text to the screen in Windows so that it would work with all Windows screen readers like we could in dos with all dos screen readers. Speaking of dos, I did write the trivia game engine back in the dos days and there is still the dos version on my web site. It does put text on the screen. But I have no idea how well that would work with a Windows screen reader and a braille display. The file name is trivia2.zip 318k bytes August 99. To find the file first go to my free speech friendly dos games page and then click on the trivia games page.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Trivia Games?
Unfortunately as far as I can gather, - both from my own investigations of the screen with hal, and from playing some of Jim's games with some of my friends and their working eyeballs, all the text is directly ouput to sapi and spoken, not displayed on the screen. All I can suggest is that you look into installing some more understandable voices on your friends' system. Your probably better looking into something like the 7-128 games. they all have graphics, and can be played with or without the game voice or a screen reader, and with or without use of graphics. Maybe some of their word games or puzle games would be helpful in this situation? The games are commercial, but are quite inexpensive, and your friend would always have the option of also buying some of their non-vi specific games. Just a thought. find out more at http://www.7128.com/ Beware the Grue! Dark. Beware the grue!
