Hi Paul
Like you I'd really appreciate any infomation regarding the use of Notes. As 
you might have noticed, the user interface is very poor when accessing the 
program with JAWS.
So if you receive som useful help, please don't forget to pass it to the 
list.

Best regards
Thomas from Denmark

In iTunes, I noticed they did some silly addition to the object name and
added the words library playlist to every item in the sources. I got rid of
it using the API, but I don't know if Lotus Notes has and API to work off
of. You could also use the Say(GetLine(),3) to say what the PC cursor sees,
but sometimes that can include other text on top of other text. Depends on
how the program is designed. Rather than a SayLine() command which speaks
the object, the say GetLine() would work in this instance.

Did you try the list customization feature?
I don’t' use Lotus but I think that's how its silenced in Outlook as Outlook
has the word "message" in its MSAA info.

So if list customization doesn’t work I'd suggest looking for where JAWS is
picking up the MSAA info for the highlighted message and attacking the
problem there. It'd be my guess the word is coming from the MSAA.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Stopping annoying text in Lotus Notes

Hi all,

When arrowing up & down the list of messages in Lotus Notes, each message
spoken is prefixed by the word "message". That prevents fast checking
through lists of messages.

I have been unable to find the source of that, to even begin to find a way
to script it into silence.

When the Jaws or invisible cursor is routed to PC, & the line read, the word
message is not read, only the text of the message title & its source, so I
gather that the word is not physically on the screen.

I looked in the .JGF file, hoping it was a graphic that I could silence, but
no luck.

I could use the Dictionary manager to silence it, but the word "message" is
too common, and I would miss it elsewhere in the program & text of messages.

Any suggestions on where it may be?

And secondly, is there a list, or sources of information for blind Lotus
Notes users?

Thank you,
Paul From Australia
