Hi,
I don't know of any scripts but if you are familiar with features like the
JAWS frame manager you might be able to make this program more friendly.
Basically this allows you to define an area of the screen that can be read
when you press a hotkey and such.
Start by turning on the JAWS cursor and moving to the top left area of the
screen that you want treated as a frame. Then press ctrl+shift+[. Next
move to the lower right part of the screen and press ctrl+shift+]. JAWS
will prompt for details at that point about things like frame name, hotkey
and such.
This is easier than it sounds. I use the feature pretty often in programs
that have complex screens where accessibility wasn't really thought through.
If I can help further let me know. The JAWS help system also has details on
creating frames.

Hi all. I recently received software from Zondervan, "the Zondervan Bible
Study Library Family Edition 5.0." When I went to install this, the setup
screen said nothing. So I had someone sighted click on install and the rest
of the installation screens read fine with jaws. When the program was
installed, the menu options under the menu bar would read but the main
window is split in to 2 windows with the left side containing a bible and
the right side containing other pertinent information. I only know how this
was set up because someone told me. "When I arrowed down, none of the text
would read, however, the screen would visually advance. When I tabbed, this
would not take me between any of the windows or change anything. I was
wondered if anyone know anything about this software or if anyone might be
able to write me a jaws script to enable this program to be accessible.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Tiffany
