Hello folks: I'm curious, if the SSH client Putty, a freeware program available for accessing SSH sessions, is accessible to Window-Eyes? Or, would Window-Eyes need to be special-cased for it? Putty can easily be installed by going to: https://ninite.com/accessible Then select the checkbox on the page called Putty, and install it. I know that Window-Eyes speaks DOS boxes as in the command prompt. I am curious how Window-Eyes does this? And, can this be done in Putty as well? I ask, because the concept used in the Command Prompt window with Window-Eyes, is exactly what needs to be done in Putty if it already doesn't exist somewhere. Does anybody on this list like Aaron Smith, Doug, Steve, or any of you users ever tested Putty with Window-Eyes? If not, now is your chance to give this a spin and let me know whatever you find out. I just hope this won't require making an app, because I'm not sure what I'd need to do if I had to come up with one. What I'm trying to make Window-Eyes do is something similar to speak all, but to be done when the Putty program is used in a similar way to how the Command prompt does it. Although, now that I think about it, if I could implement a keyboard hot key to trigger the speaking of the Putty window, similar to how you can turn speak all on/off, that would be awesome. But how to do this without needing to write a detailed app that scans the Putty window? I'm not sure if set files etc can be used for this. I don't need the time read, or anything not related to the Putty window itself. All incoming text sent to Putty needs read outloud as it flows in, and when the backspace key is pressed in a SSH terminal shell, I'm hoping I can get Window-Eyes to say the character erased, just as it does in the command prompt. But I don't know what GW Micro developers did in the Command prompt's case to make Window-Eyes do what it does. How did you make it not read extra junk on the monitor such as the changing of time? If I use speak all, then I'll get anything read outloud. I don't want that. Does anybody understand what I'm hoping for/expected result in this case with the Putty program just in case Window-Eyes needs to be special cased for this? Hopefully if this isn't already possible, somebody could get in touch with me as to how to implement what I'm after. Thanks.
