Possibly yes. Possibly no. If this is not a standard tooltip (in other
words, if the last tooltip hotkey doesn't read the information you're
expecting), then it's possible a script could be written to watch for
those windows, and when discovered, speak their information. Of course,
that's all theory until I can get a demo or something in front of me to try.
HotSpot is more about creating mouse macro commands: move the mouse
here, do some action or actions. With the upcoming HotSpot, you won't
even need to have the mouse in the right place; you'll be able to have
the HotSpot search for a string (even with specific attributes) and move
the mouse to it automatically, kind of like the current Mouse find
comment (only automatic), and then perform any number of actions. Plus,
with the ability to chain HotSpots together, your potential will be
unlimited.

I'm not sure if it would work in a case like this if a hypaer active

knows something i don't about this specific situation.
Many thanks.

Raul,
I am the pain in the butt with that anoying accounting program that
can't get the tool tip type things to read. Do you think this mouse hot
spot might work for this?
If I can get the mouse up to it in time it will read the window that has
appeared. Could this script be used to get the mouse up there and then
read the text it lands on?

Subject: Re: Hot Spot
The Audible sample button is a great use for the hot spot script. I have
it defined so when I press enter on a book so I can read the publisher's
summary, I can press alt-shift-s and hear the sample. the hot key routes
the mouse to the sample button and left clicks. Then my sample is played.
Another use for the hot spot script is in Quicken 2009 where I can press
a hot key and reconcile, update, or do various other tasks which
normally require me to move the mouse pointer to the specific part of
the screen I want.

Hello:
The Hot Spot Script is very useful indeed.
You can predefine a spot on the screen where you want the mouse to go.
Then, when you hit the hotpot hotkey, the mouse will jump exactly to
that spot.
In Outlook, for example, especially for people I don't call regularly,
it is sometimes hard to retain all 10 digits in a telephone number, and
it is impossible if there is a 5 digit extension.
So, I have two Hotspots defined in Outlook. When I've located the
person of interest, I just hit the "Work" hotspot key or the "Mobile"
hotspot key.
Then, using the numpad, I can mouse across the number and enter it into
the phone.
Sure, I could get to the numbers other ways, but this cuts the steps to
a single keystroke.
The hotspot macros can also click the mouse at the desired spot. So, if
you have an application with a troublesome item that just needs to be
clicked, the hotspot macro is an easy solution.

Hey guys. I just read a post that said to use Hot Spot for an email
archiving program. Well, I was talking to a friend on MSN who also
uses Window-Eyes and he asked me what it does, and I couldn't tell
him. We read the description, and we're still confused. I hate to
sound like an idiot, but can someone tell us exactly what you'd use
that script for? Lol. Thanks.
