Thank you Mark. I think your assessment of this matter is probably accurate.

Hi Phil,
As far as I know, LiveCode is currently incompatible with screen
readers. This issue has been reported at
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7286 but I don't get the
impression that RunRev has a serious interest in fixing this. One of
the comments says widgets will solve it, but that would only apply to
widgets and not to the "script" environment, as opposed to the widget
builder environment, including any of the current controls, windows,
stacks and cards, since those aren't widgets.
A programmer who works for me has used a screen reader with Xojo an
told me it works as expected. All controls are "visible" to him and
his screen reader doesn't crash all the time.

Has anyone been able to make desktop stacks work with screen readers?
I'm experimenting with the Mac's VoiceOver utility (included with OS X),
and VO doesn't know how to interact with a stack - it identifies the
window as "unknown" and doesn't allow you to interact with its
elements/objects.
Thanks for any tips or insights you can share any tips from your
experience.
