Aaron Said: Hmm, nod that might be the way to do it. Except in the menus. In the menus it would be nice if we can interrupt ourselves when we press arrow keys instead of queueing when we arrow and stuff. Tom Says: Ummm...I'm not sure what you mean. You have always been able to interrupt the speech in the menus just by pressing the up/down arrow keys. I'm totally confused by your comment above. Aaron Replies: I was automatically thinking the new changes to support speech silencing with the control key would have broken that until it was fixed because it looked like only the control key silenced speech. My brain isn't working verry well at the moment. I keep loseing my train of thoughts and makeing useless comments and such. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output
I'm OK with using the control key, as it silences speech in JAWS, so it will be second nature to me. - - - A taxpayer voting for a Democrat is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders! - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 11:27 AM Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output Hi everyone, I have some good news.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output
Nice one Tom! Binding it to control seems like the safest bet to avoid confusion to me, seeing as every screen reader I can think of off the top of my head uses that key to silence it's output. I still find myself diving for the control key as a fire button if I haven't played an accessible title in some time, but I reckon that's an old habbit from playing too many old school mainstream shootemups.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output
Hi. Hmm, nod that might be the way to do it. Except in the menus. In the menus it would be nice if we can interrupt ourselves when we press arrow keys instead of queueing when we arrow and stuff. now that you have it able to be interrupted you might be able to put the score on the scores menu so we don't have to press enter. I'm so lazy it isn't even funny is it, lol. When I'm walking I can see myself pressing w and continuing along, I didn't let up any keys I held down shift+right arrow and hit w.. So I hear speech and I'm still walking along. speech stops and I'm still walking. I think this is good. this is the end of the game pausing when speech output is in effect isn't it. This might not be a bad thing though. The though is when you go pressing buttons to get speech to change weapons or check your ammo or what ever the monster isn't going to wait for you like a good sport. I think this is reasonable though. Often if I need to pause I just hit tab and everybody stops. Hmm, I have an idea while i'm at it, can we announce some things in the menu when we hit tab like this. I press tab I get Select a menu item. Combat knife.
