Hi, You might want to look at NVDA. It's far from a complete and fully-featured screen reader, but two things it supports very well are the command prompt and OpenOffice.org in Windows. I use Window-Eyes as my primary screen reader in Windows and it routinely drops the last line on the screen in console windows. It won't speak at all with OpenOffice.org. NVDA doesn't have either of those problems. The only drawback is that NVDA requires software speech. It comes with ESpeak and can use any SAPI voice but it doesn't support any hardware speech at all. Also, it's still very much in development and has a lot of missing features. With that said, it's very good for console apps like the command prompt and Cygwin. I was able to use Lynx via the Cygwin ssh without any problem. http://www.nvda-project.org/ On 9/24/2009 11:54 AM, Hart Larry wrote: > Thanks Greg-and-Josiph: I remember how anoying it was reading a DOS > prompt in JAWS, but most of my other non-windows JAWS experiences are > logging in to shellworld with different telnet programs.
