Hello all and especially Jamal,
I ahve two questions about SayIt, the new API of Jamal allowing screen reader
speech output.
1 - Is there a way to speak interruptibly ? I mean immediately stop speech and
then directly speak any sentance, rather than queuing the sentance to be
spoken.
It could be useful in menus for example: when you press down arrow to go to the
next menu item, you want to hear it immediately, you don't want to wait for the
last santance to finish before having the new one.
I didn't saw any function doing that in the SayIt API... but jaws and NVDA in
their respective APIs provide a function for that.
Could you add that function in SayIt ?
Let's say that if the active screen reader doesn't provide such a function,
just queue as normal. We could imagine an additionnal function to check if the
active screen reader allow speech interruptions or not.
2 - Some people told me that SayIt work only on 32 bit windows. I don't have
any problem with it since I'm on 32 bit windows too, but could you compile a
version for 64 bit windows, for those who need it ?
Thank you for your answers.
