This does seem feasible. Could you point me somewhere where a site does
this though? I'm curious and have never seen a webpage detect any of the
AT I'm using.

In that case, will anyone please explain to me why it is on Government
Web sites I get messages about jaws having been detected? Provided
screen readers get installed in expected default folders, it ought to be
possible to search a connecting hard drive for the series of folders
that hold screen reader executable files and other support files then
act accordingly

Good afternoon Robert,
In short, no. There is no way to detect the use of a screen-reader from
a web-page.

Hello List:
I am in the process of revamping the web site for VIEW
International Foundation. I would like to include some audio files. I
observe that when an audio file is activated, JAWS is still talking
about the page. Is there a way to detect a screen reader, and either
wait five seconds or figure out when it is done talking before playing
the audio? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Robert Jaquiss
