Hi Jim,
Well, there is a way to get screen readers to read the text in a
Window when it changes and it is to set the screen reader to speak all
or say all when launching the game/application. Its certainly a hack,
not perfect, but I've used that plenty of times to use something like

Hi Dark,
Yeah, I do still wish that putting text on the screen in Windows would read
automatically with all screen readers like it would in dos, but otherwise I
agree with you that sapi5 works well.
I do also wish that I could have pretty graphics in my games so that sighted
people would play
Hi Jim,
I honestly can't see any way to make a live action game like MOTA
playable by a totally deaf-blind gamer. At least not if we are going
to do everything in real time. A person has to have a reasonable
amountof hearing to play it.
As for using text in Windows games it can be done, but somet

Yes, and then besides people who can not do stereo panning, there are the
people who are totally deaf and thus can not play audio only games at all. Not
so sure how plausible it would be to try to create fast paced live action games
that were text based and could be played via brai
Hi Harmony,
In my baseball game the pitch of the ball sound depicts the speed and height of
the ball. You know, below the knees, above the belt, or in between. And the
panning of the ball sound depicts the ball traveling from the mound to and over
home plate.

Hi Jim,
That seems to be a fairly common problem with VI gamers in general. A

Yeah, just wanted to set the record straight. I know of others who can not

Hi Jim,
Yes, but not all of your games are like that. I was mainly thinking of
Monopoly, Casino, Hangman, Life, and a number of your other board and
card games I play all the time. Those certainly don't require stereo
sound. However, you are definitely right that Puppy 1, Mach 1,
Spanker, etc do r
Hi Thomas,
You know that many of my games do require stereo listening, such as baseball,
Homer on a Harley, Mach 1, Pong, Puppy 1, Spanker and Triple J Shooter.

I don't want to shove my own games at anyone, but Towers of War, Daytona, and
Lunimals can be played without needing both ears. In Lunimals it might be a
little trickier knowing when the populations rise or fall, but other than that
I don't think there would be any problems. Daytona especially

Hi again!
I'm looking for a fast-paced game, kind of like arcade but that
doesn't require stereo or surround sound, as I am one-sided, waiting
for a hearing aid to get fixed. Finger Panic was a great example. Any others?
