That's probably the main reason why my games most likely won't have direct
screen reader support. I don't think I have it in me to be impartial about
each company, Greedom Science Fiction least of all. Not only that but as
Thomas said it's a lot more extra work than just coding it to work off SAPI.
Granted I'm not a huge fan of SAPI even in games unless absolutely necessary
for changing stats and things like that but I'll use it if I have to.

It's the same here. Although the department I work for is getting sick of
freedom scientific - do you know that they won't let aroga sell their
products any more? - And they're going to be buying a few copies of window
eyes for students. Here in manitoba that is.

The same goes for canadian groups and businesses... I'm part of the
Vancouver school district in Canada, and the only screenreadeer that the
special educational institute leds students like myself is JFW, though
I've
tried time and time again to convince window-eyes is the way to go.

Hi,
That's unfortunately true. Here in the U.S. most organizations and
government agencies only recognize Freedom Scientific's products in
any official copacity. However, with free and open source solutions
like NVDA out there one can choose to pass on Jaws and choose to use
NVDA instead. If they want a good professional screen reader GW Micro
has a payment plan for Window-Eyes that is quite affordable on a fixed
income. I think all and all the days of Jaws are numbered. Sooner or
later their customers will see Freedom Scientific for the crooks they
are and walk away. There is no need to continue putting money in
Freedom Scientific's pockets if they continue with their lawsuit crazy
mentality. It just goes to prove what kind of people we are dealing
with.
Smile.

well unfortunately there are those that are stuck with it.
being that most organisations for jobs and stuff here seem to only
recognise jaws I actually use it.
though I actually like sapi support.
if you can support nvda then thats also good since nvda has its own
library.
I have not seen many games with hal support or even no speech support
and message boxes and such where the text is on screen for any reader.
