Re: [Audyssey] tab screen reading choices
Hi, Yeah, i agree. That's pretty much the way my future projects will work once I finish upgrading the g3d.dll library to use screen reader support. When you open the program settings in game x it doesn't change the speech server or voice until a new one is selected. If there is an error loading said new voice or speech server it reverts back to the prior speech system being used. I think that is what Jeremy should try doing as well. Cheers!

I don't know how applicable this will be but in my opinion there's a better way, than wavs to hold speech, and that would be have whatever screen reader your using speak even if it's on other selections until you make a selection. Again, not sure that's applicable, but it would resolve not having to include wav files. Hth Dave.

The only thing about the current method it doesn't speak when you land on a screen reader option different from the one you are using. For instance, I am now pretty much using NVDA 24/7 so if I land on the Jaws or Window-Eyes options it won't speak until I tab to the NVDA option. Not cool, but as Phil said this could be fixed by just recording a few wav files to speak those options aloud.

Re: [Audyssey] tab screen reading choices
Yes I can do that. Actually it's something I've been meaning to do since halfway through Castaways' development, but I never seem to remember. This time I have written it down, so thank you for that sir. :D Instead of having the tab key switch to each screen reading program, you could hav it just play a .wav file saying SAPI, Jaws, WinEyes, NVDA etc. Then to pick the one you want, you hit enter.

Re: [Audyssey] tab screen reading choices
Hi, Another idea is just to have the game detect which screen reader is active and set it as the default for that session. I've been thinking about that idea myself as it removes the necessity to tab around to the active screen reader or fool around with program settings.
