I have Logos 4 Platinum Edition but am still a basic beginner when it comes
to scripting. However, I can tell you that Logos 4 is cloud based as opposed
to Logos 3. Since losing most of my usuable vision about 15 months ago I
have pretty much lost the ability to use many of my non -english language
studies such as Hebrew, Greek, and Akkadian cuneiform. The read aloud
drives me crazy and the accessibility features built into Logos 4 are
problematic but I understand from some other blind Logos 4 users that they
are trying to make Logos morfe accessible so I have high expectations
especially since I have over 2,000 resources tied up into Logos since 2001
and don't want to give up on it.

If you're at all handy with Script Utility Mode, check out the window
class name of the main window, whether it has descendants, and whether
it has MSAA objects. If you have just a single window, no MSAA
objects, and no OSM text (which is what you already discovered), you
found a difficult case, and something like Hot Spot Clicker may be
your best bet. If you see a window tree and/or a set of MSAA objects,
it might be possible to script that.

Hi
A few years ago I wrote a set of scripts for version 3 of the Logos Bible
software program. A couple months after I finished, the Logos folks rolled
out version 4. It is built on a totally different platform. My evaluation of
version 4 is that it cannot be scripted. I just want to check my assumptions
with the list here to see if my assessment is correct.
I assume it cannot be scripted, because I cannot read any text with either
the JAWS or Invisible cursor. The only thing I can read is the name of the
program with the PC cursor. The cursor routing functions also do not work.
With the previous version, I could use the invisible cursor to read any text
that was visible to a sighted user. Since I cannot read anything with the
JAWS or Invisible cursors, I assume there is really nothing I can do with
version 4. Is this correct?
Thanks,
John
