I also found that article really great, and would love to see a part 2
relating to UIA scripting -- I'm not sure there are any good introductions
out there already (but I'd love to be corrected on that if someone knows
different).
While we're on the subject of learning resources, here's a version of the
"Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Writing JAWS Scripts" guide
that Kenneth A. Gould wrote. It's over 20 years old now but I think it's
still a useful introduction:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/115gwVTWlDov0mcmkmZ5nl4absmA6WBA-nSjKaG762Jg/edit?uspÿaring
.
There was some discussion late last year about launching a website where we
could share our JAWS scripts in a way that other scripters could comment on
them -- sort of like a wiki. I thought I'd mention that again now, as I
think it could be extremely helpful for people working with JAWS scripts.
I'd be happy to give some time over to working on a project like that if
other list members liked the idea.

have done part 2 as well. Still have not found a good UIA scripting

Ted, I did not know this tutorial existed. But, it seems like people
would find it very useful.
I'd like to link to it from my site. Can I use the link you provided?
Or, will this be moving soon.

Here's a walk through I wrote on learning jaws scripting. There is a part
II in the works, but since I haven't received any feedback on part 1 yet, I
have left part 2 on the back burner for now.

Hi Csaba,
Thank you, I will continue my work in learning JAWS scripting on that
basis!
I can't find the specific FSDN help file "The Essential JAWS
Scripting Handbook", but I did find the "Basics of Scripting Manual"
at

Which includes "General Scripting Concepts", "Reference Guide", and

Are these the correct documents to start with? Or am I missing

Hi James,
of course, JAWS Script language has functions to determine the
colors on the screen. Bot hte foreground & the background. I
recommend you to download FSDN (Freedom Scientific Developer
Network) help file what is "The EssentialJAWS Scripting Handbook".

I'm looking to get into JAWS scripting. Are there good onlineto

get me started? I have some experience of coding.JAWS
One specific thing I'd like to be able to access with a script is
the "highlighting status" of any give character in a PDF. Not
highlighting as in "selecting text so that you can then make it
bold or italic", but the sort of highlighting you can add to a PDF
that looks like you've drawn on the document with a highlighter
pen. Is this information available to
scripts?__________
