Actually I am involved in the NVDA project in various ways. Not on the programming side mind you but yeah have known of NVDA for quite some time. It is quite nice to see NVDA making the impact on the blind community that it has. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marlon Brandão de Sousa" <splyt.lists@xxxxxxxxx>

Hello John, Please concider learning phyton and helping the nvda project, as it is the most advanced and freeware screen reader for windows today and it has a big chance of succeeding. I personally have provblems with python now, but trying to help the guys with the virtual buffers in C (or c++ I don't know exactly) would help also. A screen reader for windows, at the moment, will have to use ummanaged C in some moment in its developement. Marlon 2008/2/23, John Greer <jpgreer17@xxxxxxxxxxx>:Here is a little modified project that I had found the original source to onthe net sometime back. I can no longer find the page I got the original source from though. What it is is the basics of a Narrator like screen reader written in VB6. I have mostly been using it as a testing tool forvarious projects but it does have the potential to become much more. I have uploaded it to my website if anyone would care to download it and try theirhand at it. Be aware that is of course not bug free, but I do remember at one point Ihad it reading messages in Windows Messenger to give an example of what ispossible. www.blindcrawler.com/Programs/MSAAScreenReaderVB6.zip Enjoy and have fun.-- When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for free."
