Hi Andreas,
Yes, I would add support for NVDA within Saytools (as well as EdSharp, FileDir, PDF2TXT, and McTwit). I did not realize you had not found the SayTools distribution -- in fact I thought one of your colleagues had been in touch with me about it, indicating the code had been helpful (perhaps I was confused and that was someone else). The address for the installer is

http://EmpowermentZone.com/saysetup.exe

Best,
Jamal

This is good to know.

As such, if we wanted to add NVDA support, should we wait a month? We
don't really have time on the development docket before release anyway,
so maybe that's a good way to go.

Jamal, are you planning on adding NVDA support into Say Tools, and did
you by chance ever find the time to send us the location of the source
for say tools. I know you said it was open source, but we looked and
couldn't find it.

    Hi Jamal,

    You are correct.  NVDA 2010.1 should be released in about a month.
      They currently have their beta cycle going on.

    Thanks.

        My undrstanding is that the NVDAController API does not work
        with the current production version of NVDA -- a development
        snapshot is required. Is that right?

              Hi,
            I have tried that one andc just couldn't get it working the
            way I
            wanted, so decided to write my own. Also, my method gives more
            advertising for NVDA, because it's the only speech method so
            far for
            windows. That being said, I didn't write the NVDA code, it was
            contributed by someone else. It works great though, exactly
            the way I
            wanted.
