tim, you apparently don't understand how programming works or vo for that 
matter.

apple has layed down the specs on how to make a program accessible to voiceover 
just as jaws does with standard windows controls etc. if a programmer fails to 
follow those guide lines to make the information available to voiceover, or 
jaws for that manner, no amount of trying by apple, freedom scientitific, gw 
micro or who ever will make a program accessible.
