BlankWell, Nvda isn't supporting 64 bit yet.  The problems seem to have to do 
with the speech api, not the screen reader itself.  I wonder if the 64 bit 
version has narrator.

    Yeah the event view would be a problem for sure.  But I think that for that 
you could just temporarilly load jaws.

support, we should be ablt to access more and more parameters from the control 
surface sdk. 
      The only problems may be inserting plugs and selecting presets, but I 
would think there would be a workaround for that.

      Phil replied: also, accessing parameters and clicking buttons in plug-ins 
could be an issue.  Mind you, it wouldn't be if NVDA had an equivalent of 
HotSpotClicker built-into it and if NVDA could read off the CWACCESS Window 
then, maybe not.  Also, actually inserting plug-ins shouldn't be an issue as 
there is the applications key for that.

get location, selected status, markers, levels, and even the effect names and 
through act many parameters.  All this stuff
      is exposed in the control surface sdk which can certainly be called from 
a program like nvda, and through wineyes new scripting environment.  I really
      think I could write a set of scripts that will hardly need to look at the 
video display at all.

      Phil replied: possibly however, in order for this to really work without 
a video driver, we would need control surface support or CWACCESS Window or, 
similar for the event view, as that currently relies on video driver support.
