[RWP] What's the current state of n I kontact accessibility with hsc and ahk?

Thu May 2 11:31:28 EDT 2013

I never run Wineyes 7.5 either online or for email these days.
I can read all the same screen info with NVDA, which is way more nimble; 
and loads in a second.
I do miss the Wineyes search function when I'm surfing, not matched by 
NVDA, but that's about it.

It's a different story on my XP daw; where I run ancient  Wineyes 6.1; 
which was developed for XP, and works perfectly in it.
In Reaper; with NVDA;  I can do all the actions for recording, routing, 
assigning effects, whatever; it's only what is sometimes called screen 
scraping; probing a plug's interface for non speaking bit map buttons 
that NVDA's object navigation doesn't help me at all.
It's probably my own ignorance how to use it properly; but Wineyes has a 
function at the number pad called next and previous clips that searches 
for any group of organized pixels, which they call a clip.
Clips just say graphic when you mouse across them, if you're lucky.
Sometimes they're more elusive, and there's a silent place there; but 
Wineyes still recognizes that place as a clip.
Wineyes also has Move Mouse by Deltas, which moves the mouse pointer; 
what Jaws I think calls PC cursor; by an assignable number of pixels per 
shortcut press.
I can begin at a fixed place on the interface; then use 
ctrl+shift+numPad arrows; to move down and to the left so many deltas, 
and I find the preset inc and dec buttons there; at very similar 
coordinates in many soft synths.

Without sighted help I sometimes can find all sorts of useful buttons, 
like preset buttons, save dialog, load dialog, various other dialogs.
Even on total bit map interfaces, the developers often use standard 
microsoft dialogs that speak perfectly; once you get them open.

If anyone knows NVDA shortcuts that also look for what GW Micro calls 
clips, or unknown graphics, and knows of a way to move NVDA's mouse to 
those coordinates afterwards, please let me know.
Thanks,
Indi
