Yes Denis, think that's probably right. Will be interesting to see
how the scripting capabilities get supported and whether this might in
fact generally increase cost of ownership with the added
possibilities. Has to be said that a fair bit can be done with
Window-Eyes without the, for many, tortuous mental effort needed to
write scripts.
I noted a comment somewhere that Zoomtext now has a scripting feature,
but know nothing of this beyond that mention.
Scripting isn't all about making screens and programs that weren't
accesssible more usable. What I regret in a way is the near collakpse
of any notion or campaign to get the software writers to do right by
us. A good deal of what scripting is there to address is the
downright refusal and arogance of sotware writers who simply won't
take accessability seriously.
Some will say that's the real world we live in. I say the world we
live in is made by people who can make it a more humane better place
if they choose to.
Cheers,
From Ray

i think eventually all the screen readers will have some form of a
scripting
language.
this even includes NVDA.
