Hi Tereza,
I have tried a few screen readers and none can work with Revolution.
The screen readers I tried usually use the mouse cursor to determine
which control or text should be described by means of audio. You can
easily do this with Revolution's speech features. Additionally, it
might be useful if your app could run from the command line. Perhaps
you could turn on speech features automatically, after reading the
system's universal access settings.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

Hiya all,
Does anyone know (spare me the testing!) whether apps made with
RunRev using ordinary controls are accessible to screen readers out
of the box? I have over the years implemented various accessibility
modes in apps using Rev—single-switch access comes to mind—but I've
yet to tackle screen-reader access in Rev. I know Hypercard wasn't
accessible because I had to implement a blind-access mode for a
major application back in the day when I worked at the Trace Center (http://trace.wisc.edu
), and I suspect Runtime Revolution isn't because—at least in the
beginning—'system' controls were emulated. But is that still the
case? on all platforms?
A client has a C application that has bogged down in development. I
know I can redo it in Rev and carry it forward expeditiously;
however there's a federal grant involved and furthermore the client
is committed to universal access.
Anyone have a clue?
