PL> Hi all, PL> Is any one using Screen readers such as Jaws For Windows PL> (http://www.freedomscientific.com) or Window Eyes (http://www.gwmicro.com) PL> with TheBat? Personally I used to work with Jaws and nextly I will work with Window-Eyes. It's true than we can use the bat! with jaws or any screen readers if we create custom settings a bit. But I'm not totally aggree with Thomas Fernandez when he said that jaws works perfectly with the bat!. In fact we can use it but I think we could greatly improve the accessibility of the bat! by making it Ms accessibility compliant in order to use the Ritlabs Html engine or if we can identify with tooltips all icons in the program. Few days ago I wrote to Maxim Masiutin and suggest him several things. here is a part of our discussion : Hi Max, Le lundi 22 septembre 2003 à 16:22:35, vous écriviez : MM> Could you please send us your screen reader software, to make MM> us able to try? You can download a demo copy of Jaws at http://www.hj.com and/or Window-eyes at http://www.gwmicro.com. MM> How do you read text in Microsoft Internet MM> Explorer, there is also no cursor there. Yes, but in this case screen readers rely on Microsoft Active accessibility (you can obtain information at http://www.microsoft.com/enable or msdn). Or you could either : - customize the html component used in the bat! enabling the cursor caret. Then we could be able to read html message and scroll them because screen readers could then track the cursor properly, - or letting optionnally the ability to activate the Microsoft Html renderer engine. Could you please take me aware of your investigation concerning this part of the development please ? And it would also be very interesting if we could access to the toolbars, the mailticker and so on... I truely hope that Ritlabs will make an effort in this direction. -- Greetings, The Bat! v2.00.6 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
