Summary and Commentary We > >gleaned a few conclusions from Dueling Windows. It showed that we have > >come a long way in GUI screen reader development since only a few, short > >years ago when access to GUI appeared a dismal prospect. Dueling > Windows > >further showed, however, that we have a long way to go in GUI screen > >reader development. Few tasks, by any vendor, could be easily performed > >with a single keystroke or short series of keystrokes; though certain > >individual tasks could be performed relatively easily, access to an > >entire process or series of tasks seemed burdensome and never completely > >straight-forward. The seminar brought to light some important points to > >consider regarding this. DOS was not accessible in its early state, > and > >is often still inaccessible. Access to Windows, however, is occurring > at > >an earlier stage in Windows development than did access in DOS's > >development. Also, if certain programming conventions are upheld in > >Windows, Windows may become much more predictable and workable than DOS > >did; remember that GUI access is in its fledgling state and will become > >much more sophisticated. One key issue for access to Windows is the > >need, or lack thereof, to build one's own speech configurations or > >profiles. If an access program works well with a strict, conventional > >set-up of an application program, but fails to easily be configured for > a > >slight variation of the original application program, this is obviously > >not desirable. Also, key issues for GUI screen reader users are the > >ability to re-read text and fields that have been spoken once as a > window > >opens, and the ability to spell words in any area of the screen where > >they are only spoken in context. Since Windows is somewhat predictable > >and generally constant in its presentation, and, since certain Windows > >application programs have become more conventional than others, it is > not > >unreasonable to assume that the differences between access programs will > >become more philosophy-based, rather than task-based. The conventions > of > >Windows, or domination of Microsoft, essentially requires all GUI screen > >readers to eventually have full and complete access to these programs. > >The distinctions are likely to appear in the interface where more or > less > >transparency is desired, etc. Lastly, Dueling Windows may be providing a > >marketing aspect that could benefit the users. Though certainly not > >all-encompassing, it injects a competitiveness into the screen reader > >market that might not otherwise be there. Much product development for > >the blind has suffered as a result of a lack of competition, so the user > >may benefit from this current surge in GUI access competitiveness. The > >only danger with this added competitiveness is if the small pool of > >developers and vendors in this market lose respect for another's > product, > >or cease to work with other developers. Judging from the March CSUN > >event, this is certainly not the case yet, and SAF looks forward to the > >next Dueling Windows.
