Hi Thomas,
I would like to ask a question about the problems with such programs as the
mentioned Dosbox.
Why is it so difficult for a screen reader to get anything from such a
program?
Shouldn't (in theory) a screen reader be able to get all the information on
the screen as it is given from a graphic card to the screen or whatever
component actually puts anything on the screen?
If this is not true, what purpose had such things as Video Intercept for
JAWS up to Windows 7?
If I have a program which in theory has access to all (graphical)
information which is currently displayed on the screen, shouldn't a screen
reader be able to read more things as long as you are not running a full
virtual machine or if you are not playing some kind of video where you have
constantly changing images on screen?
I mean some text DOS games are not that graphically complex like a video or
some high end animations of mainstream games.
And while we are at it, Dosbox surely wasn't developed Yesterday.
This brings up the question why no screen reader developer seems to have
found a way to read such programs like Dosbox in general.
