Hi Peter and all,
The screen reader discussion is interesting, but we are drifting further
and further off the main topic of games. Let's get things back on track
with games.

well
let's just say you could call me a screen reader expert or close to
that. I worked with nearly everything available on windows and had a
few experiences with orca on the gnome desktop.
when I started out I was running wineyes 4.5 and needless to say the
control panel was very! confusing, the option names sorta weird.
especially the keyboard echo. instead of having 4 levels you have 1
long list with keys, words, both and then keys, words and both with
out interrupt instead of putting these 2 separately.
I also at first had troubles applying changes globally, but as for day
to day use (when I'm not digging in the thing) window-eyes was all in
all a plezent experience to work with.
then when I ended up on vista I started to use jaws daily. it was an
easier thing to learn I'll admit and I got used to it quite a lot.
dolphin's products, hmm. have these at school. I find them weird. the
hot keys are especially confusing, sometimes requiring left, or
specifrically, right, control, making me getting hal announcing the
key instead of performing the function I expected it to do. I do,
however, like its... uh. what was it called. verbosity schemes I
think. it allows full modification of just about anything the thing
says. for instance I changed it to say checked/unchecked instead of
its default selected/unselected on checkboxes, that sort of thing. I
wish though they made a seaprate buffer for msaa content instead of
using their mouse emulation with some DOM thrown in to do the job.
I did also test system access and nvda and I find I don't have to
comment, the 2 are really nice readers.
sorry if I went off topic at 1 point or another and sorry for the long
message, and take care!
