the problem with shareing a computer is one where labeling graphics is
multiplied and becomes a real hassle.
if the person is sighted they will with out a doubt want to increase the
resolution to either
super v g a or super v g a plus.
the kicker here is that
super v g a plus is much better for totally blind people.
reason being that more information is present on the screen with a higher
resolution and less scrolling must
be done.
standard v g a requires the user to scroll more often and if you ever had to
scroll to the right you know that is a hassle, not to mention time consumeing.
so it would help if jfw would label graphics at a higher resolution.
it would further be helpful if jfw would provide a auto label feature like all
the other screen readers.
true one can do as these other post suggest, acctually if one stays in v g a
doing it the current way is not so
bad, the problem is if you want to move to a higher resolution then labelling
all the graphics will require the
user to relabel every thing that hj has already labelled.
then the auto labeller results in a major time saver.
with super v g a plus monitors selling for 100 dollars it is time hj think
about moving to a higher resolution.
if hj would label all graphics at higher resolution we as blind people would
not have to constantly worry about sighted people changeing the resolution.
by the way a change in resolution would also require hj to write its frames for
that new resolution.
one other point the cost to go to a higher resolution is very minumal because
the code does not have to be changed, only the frames and label dictionary.
