*Dolphin Scripting delivers access to Microsoft Project 2007*
Dolphin Scripting has enabled Ed Pourtahmasbi to continue working with
Microsoft Project in his dream job of Project Management at the world's
most prestigious consulting firm, Accenture.
In 2008 Accenture upgraded to Microsoft Project 2007 and Ed decided it
was time to try a more nimble and responsive screen reader, Dolphin's
Hal. However, as Project is a very visible application Ed contacted
Dolphin in regards to writing a specialised script in order for him to
be able to navigate around the application. The results have been
staggering, as Ed explains:
"Hal is twice as fast as my previous screen reader when moving around
the screen and reading things...I can now use Project much faster and a
lot slicker, and in the way that I want it read."
