Technology is getting more advanced, so I hope that the manufacturers are
willing to advance with it.  We as blind folks shouldn't be limited to the
range o technologies we can use simply due to those people not cooperating
and doing what needs to be done.

Thanks Jim: I have used WindowEyes for several years but am thinking of
looking at JAWS. My guess is that the new Visual Studio will need scripting
since it is getting heavily  into WPF, Silverlight and other stuff that I
question how accessible the new stuff will be without some scripting help. I
don't know where WindowEyes is going with the new Accessibility standards
and scripting but have read that at least some of the Visual Studio features
work with JAWS 11, although I am not sure about the current JAWS Scripts and
all that jazz. I am just looking into what might be required going forward.
Windows 7? WPF? Ado.net Entity Modeling or MVC? and a bunch of other things
like Silverlight, html5 and CSS3  that might  pose problems for certain
Screen Reader accessibility hooking and scripting implementations, used by
JAWS and WindowEyes current flavors.Just a thought before I consider picking
a screen reader, operating system and development platform for the next few
years of Windows Programming and Web Development.

Hi Rick,

With JAWS 11, yes, but I have heard that support is immature.

Hi: Does the JAWS Scripting Language support access to the UIA hooks for
applications like VS and WPF or Silverlight?
