Hi Richard,
Maybe if you go to http://www.nvda-project.org and talk to the developers, you 
can get some good answers. I know that much of that program is written in 
Python. I'm just a beginner in Python, and probably wouldn't be able to give 
you much help. Other than testing, that is.

Thanks.

Jim

I didn't know that, but it is certainly an interesting idea. The center 
frequencies and the lengths of the pulses are being controlled by the 
underlying Java program. Any idea as to how the two programs might be 
interacting? If they are, I would like to learn how to capitalize on that.

Hi,
Did you know that NVDA can emit tones when someone moves a mouse? Are you sure 
that NVDA is not emitting the tones?

Thanks.

Subject: [program-java] Interaction between Java and NVDA

I am writing a Java program that produces a series of audio pulses when the 
user moves the mouse in a JPanel. Essentially, it uses a mouseMove listener and 
emits a pulse each time an event of that type is fired. The audio results are 
OK, but not great.

However, when I start NVDA and have it running, the audio results are great. 
The output stream of audio pulses becomes very uniform, whereas without NVDA 
running, the output stream of audio pulses is not uniform at all.

Something about having NVDA running is causing the Java program to perform much 
better, which is exactly the reverse of what I have come to expect during many 
years of computer programming.

I am running Vista Home Premium on a 64-bit HP Laptop, but this Java program is 
compiled using the 32-bit javac.

Any ideas as to what might be going on?
