Well I shall stand corrected then, but when I took a look at the info put
together on HSC, it said, and I paraphrase, "Steep learning curve".
The implication was that there was a lot to it and in order to get the
most out of it it would be necessary to take some considerable time to
learn how to use it.
Are you saying I can just install and go? Just like that? No learning
curve at all? Literally plug and play?

quite a complex system to master, and that considerable knowledge of Jaws
and window-based software architecture is required to make it work
successfully.
Phil replied: rubbish. You clearly haven't taken a look at HSC at all.
If you had then, you would be making such ridiculous statements like
this. HSC is a very powerful set of Jaws scripts that can be plugged into
Jaws. Creating HSC sets is a breeze. Add to that the fact that it's a
system that has been proven to work across systems and has very powerful
features such as colour recognition. For example, if a button changes
colour then, you can have HSC speak a specific message such as "button x
enabled." Also, if your in the fortunate position of having sighted
assistance then, you can create a huge amount of keyboard accessibility,
within minutes. For example, I have almost completed HSC sets for a
number of plug-ins for Sonar 7 that would otherwise be totally
inaccessible for us.

HSC
and how it works, and neither do I.
Phil replied: I wouldn't say I am much of a programmer ether. That's the
point with HSC. You don't have to be. You run a wizard and that's it.
Sure you can do more advance things with it if you know how to write
functions however, even some of those are pree written and can be chosen
from a list.
Mat wrote: We're looking at a combination of Kore and the Auto-hotkeys
software because
it seems the easiest option. Whether it will work or not we don't know.
Phil replied: that's fine however, don't write something off that you
haven't bothered to thoroughly research before commenting. There's
nothing to stop you installing HSC and running the HSC sets that have
already been created.
