http://EmpowermentZone.com/saysetup.exe Version 1.4 Released October 24, 2008 Fixed a documentation error: the property is called UseSAPIAsBackup rather than UseSAPI. Added the utility RunFunc.exe for running a loaded JAWS function via the command line, analagous to RunScript.exe for running a JAWS script . Added methods for creating console mode programs with almost any language. Such programs tend to be speech friendly for users who like entering commands as text, and then hering the results. The methods assume that the calling executable has been compiled as a Windows console-mode program. windows with a graphical user interface (GUI) can still be created from such a program, but using standard input and output streams requires the program to be built so that it either opens a console window or launches from one. The methods are as follows: ConsoleSetTitle(sTitle) -- Set the title of the console window ConsoleMaximizeWindow() -- Maximize the console window ConsoleReadLine(sPrompt) -- Prompt for a line of console input and return it as a string ConsoleWrite(sText) -- Write text to the console ConsoleWriteLine(sText) -- Write text to the console with a trailing line feed character (ASCII 10) ConsoleClearScreen -- Clear the console screen The Samples subfolder contains a batch file, run_interactive_VBScript.bat, which creates an interactive VBScript environment using these methods. You can enter VBScript statements or expressions, and hear their results. Variables may be created dynamically and then use in subsequent expressions.
