I agree, speech would be good as I don't have a braille display as well. Wow,
this si neat you guys, thanks for this.

Now the audio would be nice since I don't have a braille display.
I also appreciate the hot keys, since I like as much actual physical hands on
interfacing with one's aircraft as much as possible.
I was a beta tester on a hand to ear navigational project.
But in late 2015, the owner pulled down the project.
But I do have the last demo of the project.
I had lost my full beta copy when I had external hard drive issues.
So, I applaud your efforts and I'm interested in what you come up with to
make flying closer to the real world with as much actual physical hands on
interfacing with one's aircraft as much as possible.

Nice!
Let me emphasize that I haven't played with this in a few years. It
might be entirely broken!
One thing I've been thinking about is writing an interface that allows
you to hear various fs values by using hotkeys.
With this implimentation, the display runs in a seperate window.
You might look at the FSText program that I think comes with either
WideFS or fSUIPC. That is what I used to use to get data from Radar
Contact.
It may work for pf3 as well.
I'll look at it when time permits.

Hi Jason,Blind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
THis is precisely the kind of thing I was hoping to find. I was thinking I’d
rather have speech than Braille, but the principle seems to be the same. I
know FSUIPC does display messages for some add-ons, which we couldn’t access
before OCR came along.
Thanks,
Zack.

Hello all,
I wanted to post this link to a thread that I started a few years ago
on the FSUIPC forum.
This gets a bit technical, but essentially what it does is allow you
to build a display of various values in FSX. Using this code, I was
able to build a WideFS plugin that would update data on a braille
display in real time.
So, for example, I could see my airspeed, heading, and altitude change
in real time. The info you can get at is only limited by the available
data from FSUIPC, which is a lot!
I haven't touched this in a few years, but might dive back into this
to see what I can make it do.
PF3 does send some info out via FSUIPC. So, I think I can modify this
code to get at that info.
This would allow you to get at the info it is sending out via the
kneeboard for example.
