Hello Catherine,
This is a great idea, but I'm not so sure that it's the concern of
Duxbury. Rather I believe it's a matter to take up with the screen reader
developers instead. George I'm doing my best to avoid the realm of the off
topic and am not above scolding. However the idea is one that is long
over-due.

Subject: [duxuser] work-around for back translation
is there a possibility of writing scripts or setfiles (or whatever they
are called) for the major screen readers that would apply to grade two
files only? If there is, maybe a file could be writen for speech users
that would teach the speech to say dot 5 for example whenever it
encountered the quotation mark on a grade two screen. If the file
encountered a colon : it might say wh
With a little work, the sentence Where have all the flowers gone? could be
translated from a grade two screen with the following sords in speech:
dot six dot five wh space h (or have) space a l l space the space f l ow
er s space g dot five o question
Those who know how to play with jaws and windoweyes and any other that
applies would know more about how to make this work for grade two files
only.
