I wonder if the mirror Driver/Video Intercept has anything to do with
this? NVDA uses display hooks to communicate with applications directly
writing to the screen, rather than mirror drivers or video interception.

Hello
Some time ago I reported that Window-Eyes 7.5 broke the accessibility of
Nokia PC Suite 7 and made it unusable. Steve Clower went to a lot of
trouble to try and help, updating the QT Support app and sending me new
versions to try, but we never got PC Suite working again.
Now yesterday, just for the hell of it, I tried the free opposition,
NVDA, and it worked perfectly with PC Suite, no accessibility issues at
all.
Yesterday I installed an application called Tapin Radio on my Netbook.
Nothing spoke, but it looked like an application built with QT Widgets,
so I installed the QT Support app and it now works perfectly. Again,
this program worked with NVDA out of the box, no accessibility issues.
My question now is: Why does Window-Eyes have trouble with these issues
and at least for Tapin radio need QT Support for it to work, while both
work perfectly with the free screen reader? One would have expected the
free program to have issues, not the commercial one. Surely GW Micro is
missing something here. I think this is more than a little strange. When
I want to use PC Suite, I have to stop Window-Eyes and then use a
freebee to access PC Suite. That is a crazy situation. Is there some
explanation for this?
I honestly hope this is something GW Micro will attend to. Surely the
commercial program should be at least as good as the free one and then a
whole lot better.
Kind regards
Christo
