Hello all,
Now my ScreenReaderAPI.dll works with 5 screen readers on windows. I
have a couple questions for you to organize future developments of the
library.
This library is currently used on 3 games: playroom, greenies and latest
SoundRTS, but has the potential to be used on many other

Well, if you don't have sendspace or Dropbox try sending the

Hi Michael,
I'm not an expert on how the Jaws video intercept driver works, but
apparently it somehow works in tandem with the existing Windows APIs
to provide spoken feedback to what is on screen. The video intercept
driver Jaws supplies is not where Jaws gets most of its information
though.
Hi,
Not sure. Possibly different version of the API being used, slightly
different settings, or something else. As a college prof once said to
my class, programming is the easy part. Its debugging it that is so
difficult.
Oh, he was so right about that. Learning to program, and actually
writing
Hi Quentin,
I hadn't thought about that but you are absolutely correct. It is
extremely easy to access COM components in C#. You just have to
reference the library under the list of COM references for your
application and then create a COM object to point to the library. So
no biggy.
As for your
I like the idea a lot, but I don't know enough about programming
to participate.

Hi Quentin,
This sounds great. Besides making this available to C/C++ developers I
still think it is important we also make a .Net version as C# .NET and
VB .NET are still viable languages for Windows.
I know we talked about this some and got side tracked, but do you want
to work with me to
That's probably it... the fact that the game was configured for a Japanese
screen reader which apparently needs those com objects to read Japanese text
as speech. What I don't understand is why it works on one of my computers
and not the other. lol

Hi Quinten
This is a voice chat website. Sign up is free and there's a small
download client required. The times are in EST, and it can be alot of fun.

I know, It's not the first message of that sort, but what are these out
of sight events ?
A podcast, TV show or something like that ?

No problem. As soon as I get it I'll take a look, and see what I can do.

Hahahaha. I can totally see that... but I guess it is just different
settings. but I asked him if he could delete the com object and he did, so
it now works on my laptop... but instead of using the japanese screen reader
itself, it's using sapi 5 with a japanese tts voice which works well.
Hi John,
Well, the nice thing about BGT is that it is designed for beginners,
aspiring programmers, and you can learn quite a lot from reading the
tutorials and sample games.
I know I'm not exactly a new programmer but I've been going through
the basic language tutorial and I can say it is
Hello,
For C#, I think you could just use the COM interface instead of
rewriting the API from scratch. Use of a COM object is very easy in C#
right ?
We really need a mac developper... for linux we can wait a little, there
isn't a lot of people using a linux desktop, but there are more and
Hi,
Hmm...Hard to say without actually seeing the source code and testing.
However, by the sounds of it there could be a problem with a string
not properly being converted to unicode before being passed to a COM
object. However, since Windows COM objects only accept unicode anyway
I would think
API stands for application programming interface. Software provides
API's for other programs to request information or have them perform
actions. For example, SAPI is an API for microsoft's speech standard.
Programs can request it to speak text, get the list of voices, etc. Each

API stands for application programming interface. What that means in
down to earth language is it is a collection of libraries, dll files,
that contain reusable code for building similar types of programs.
For example, in Microsoft's .Net API there is a library called

A bit late of a response, but I have to agree with you here. My
personal standpoint is as little text as possible, but make it
clear that there was a message change.

Hi Dark,
I understand where you are coming from, and am just as annoyed at
being stuck with having to use something like dosbox to play games
that would or should be otherwise accessible if someone just wrote a
proper interpreter for it. However, as a programmer I see where their

Hi Thomas,
I see what you mean, but now I wonder...
Firstly, why use Video Intercept or something else at all?
My Desktop Computer has an NVIDIA Graphics card. Every year the NVIDIA
software with drivers gets updated several times.
