Hi Ian and all,
For my two cents...
I use both Jaws and NVDA, but in different times and situations. I
personally like it if sapi is used for TB. The quality of sapi these days is
much better then its ever been. I can interrupt speech if I have to, and the
timing with TB events is more important to me then hearing my own screen
reader voice.
If you can fix it to where there's no problem using Jaws, that'd be great
too.
Because I'm sure it'd pronounce some things a lot better. But that's the
only difference, really.
And yeah, I'm unable to use shift+arrow keys if Jaws hasn't been put to
sleep yet.
Finally I want to say thanks to Ian for continually supporting and expanding
upon TB.
And you map makers are doing a killer job! You're also doing a killer job on
making me rack my brains, and pulling my hair out on how to figure some of
these maps out! lol
Michael

Hey Carlos,
Good to know how GMA handles it. The speech delay calculator is a good
idea and word counting would probably bring you close to the right speed.
Ah, and the game knows if you've interrupted the speech because it checks
for key presses just as a screen reader would.
Well, definitely something to consider.
I like that I can tell when SAPI is done but I guess a lot of people like
to use their screen reader voice.
I'd prefer my screen reader voice too actually.
I've heard that JAWS can cause problems when the game expects you to use
the shift + arrow keys. Allan had an issue with this in TB and I've heard
of it happening on other games as well.
Do GMA games just avoid those particular shortcut keys?
