You just said the one thing that will have to change first with the
simulator or the screen readers so that they read better with the flight
sims. I actually know of a program that once all the problems are out of
it, it will be much better than IYP. I will not say which program it is on
this list. All I will say is that I do know of one.

I think this is a very good description. My only comment is that setup of
fsx, fsuipc, iyp, and configuration tricks to make it work with screen
readers would probably be a bit of a challenge for beginning users. IN
particular, the set up pannels of fsx in particular do not read very well
and require some fancy screen reading tricks to figure out. Wonder if we
could put a .cfg file some place with all of the settings set appropriately
some place for people to download.
Just a couple of examples which people might have ideas on automating.
1. When fsx starts, it is on the home screen and getting a screen reader to
navigate to the free flight screen is quite a trick.
2. the volume controls for environment, engine volumes, traffic level etc
to not read accurately with any screen reader I have tried. Well, actually,
was sort of accurate with nvda but window-eyes and jaws, forget it.
I may have introduced some of this complexity myself because I have the
acceleration pack installed rather than the standard fsx installation.
Perhaps I will play with this on one of my test machines.

Greetings all our BVI and disabled pilots,
Over the last few months, we have been receiving your thoughts about IYP.
Many, many thanks to everyone who has contributed their input! The immediate
result of your comments is the attached one-page pamphlet about IYP.
We are going after the Blind and Disabled Market more aggressively and we
would appreciate your comments before this becomes an official document -
have we missed anything? If you feel that something super important is
missing, please let me know within the next 8 days, keeping in mind that
although we could write a book about IYP, we must keep this to one page (not
an easy thing to do!)
We will be broadcasting the pamphlet as widely as possible through every
appropriate media.
Thanks in advance and remember to keep the blue up,
Helen Cooper
