I'm afraid I'm not versed in Window-Eyes. I'm sort of watching the developments regarding Window-Eyes scripting with interest though.
For the record, I don't object to scripting other screen readers (after all, scripting is my profession), but my doing or not doing it will be based mostly on time and on my work I expect. I have, over the years, been approached by several people from several companies for help designing scripting languages for different screen readers, and perhaps to the surprise of some, I chose not to assist in designing them, even though I have no qualms against using them. This is because I have worked very long with Freedom Scientific, though never as an employee, and I saw the act of helping create a scripting language in a competing product as a form of competition against the system I am most often employed to script. That said though, I view the actual scripting of any sufficiently capable screen reader as merely enhancing accessibility for all who use it; and I am all about enhancing the accessibility of things. I'm not sure if everyone will understand why I draw such a line between design and use, but I can always hope. Incidentally, though I can't say for certain without seeing more, it sounds like GW Micro did the best thing they could in my eyes for their scripting approach. My only concern, and it is a big one, is security; but that starts to stray widely from Skype, so I'll shut up now. <grin> On Wed, Mar 05, 2008 at 08:21:21PM -0000, orhan deniz wrote: does doug use win-eyes. hmm interesting, get your point about vb script, doug could write the code out with jaws, give it to a win-eyes user, hmm, but there are disadvantages. orhan deniz. ways to contact me: msn/windows live ID: orhan1793 at hotmail.co.uk e-mail: orhan.deniz63 at gmail.com skype: orhan.deniz63 jim grimsby Jr. <jimgrims at pacbell.net> wrote: As these scripts are in b script I am sure that users or people like Doug will want to add features to them.
