[ossrp-control] Re: screen reading information

Just wondering, and that can be because my knowledge about this is limited, is there any type of screen reader, or any possibility for a screen reader to operate in safe mode?

Hi Juan,

As far as I know, Beth Mynat's and Keith Edward's paper is the only one on
how screen readers work. There's been various ones written on screen reader
design, such as a comparison paper written by Beth Mynat et al in 1994,
which you can download from the publications section of the Everyday
Computing Lab's website, which is part of the main GA Tech site. There's
also been work done by Alistair Edwards at the University of York, in the
UK, Steve Brewster from the University of Glasgow, in the UK, various people
at the University of Toronto, in Canada, but these have mainly focused on
design rather than implementation. I did hear that Prof. Gary Bishop at the
University of North Carolina was developing a new type of screen reader,
based more around communication with the user, and any information on this
will likely be on the UNC web site at:

Hello everyone,
First I am glad to say that a project of this kind has finally started.

I've discussed this type of project with other people, and have written
papers and such  for my course work at the univercity, on the research and
development of a free or extremely low cost screen reading solution.

I have quite a bit of coding background, but none in the screen reading
area.

I have downloaded the paper written by: Mynatt, E.D., and Edwards, W.K. 
(1992). " Mapping guis to auditory Interfaces, but I would like to know if
anyone has any other information on screen reading development, consepts,
theory, etc?

Again, I am glad OSAT has started, and I hope to help as much as I can in
the future. Thanks 

Juan Hernandez
