Hi Bruce: I have heard and found vb.net 2010 perhaps the worst version to
use from an accessibility standpoint, think 2012 may have been a little
better and 2013 better yet from what I've heard.
If you try vb.net (Cvisual Basic For Desktop) 2013 out keep a step by step
for how to get, register and

certainly read the actual code. I am using c# rather than vb.net. What
options did you change to make it work better with screen readers?

Hi Guys: Let me reiterate there is no indication of VBScript going away in
the immediate future.
There are also several good options currently available for alternative
languages of choice under the current com model.
There are no plans by GW to replace the defacto language of choice at this
time.

Visual Studio or any of the free modules have to be setup for accessibility

That said it works quite well once setup and the rather large learning curve

Hi Aaron:
VBScript is still in wide use indeed from what I have read.

Hi Bruce: The 2 takeaways I got was that Python UI is not all that
accessible for screen reader users and that indentation is important which
is also a pain to track while programming for blind programmers.
Otherwise I am not a fan of "Open Source" modules since they tend to not
consider accessibil
