[blindlaw] Question about relativity-softwareused to review documents

[Tim Elder]

1, I fully endorse ALT.  It is a great power user tool.  2, I've seen JAWS
scripts created by one vendor after a previous vendor suggested that the
program could not be scripted.

Hello:

     There is a software package called ALT from www.u-r-able.com. ALT can
be used to create keyboard shortcuts for mouse moves. For example if it is
necessary to use a mouse to open the file menu, ALT can be programmed to
provide a keyboard shortcut to make the move. ALT can record sequences of
mouse moves and keyboard commands. With these and more capabilities, ALT can
make inaccessible software accessible. One exception is drawing software
that requires the user to draw images with the mouse. For more information,
please contact me as shown below.

Regards,

Robert

Dear List,

To make matters even worse, not all software can be made accessible through
scripts even if money is not an issue. That is because some programs are so
inaccessible that no matter how you manipulate your screen reader's script
functionality, it won't work anyway.

Best,

Michal

In this day of low budget, who knows what rehab may have up its sleeves? 
Besides, the atrocious price charged by scripters will scare more birds into

their cages.  Example:  A guy in Britain wanted to script a POINT OF SALE
software for me at either $18,303 or $41,000 depending on how fast I wanted
to have things done.  Why so?  Because I wanted full access to the source
code!  This for me was necessary to ensure continuity of code development.

These prices equal the salary of someone; I don't even make close to either
amount charged and I work for myself!

The general argument has been that the number of clientele are too few. 
Phew!  Not an argument I'd like to chew on!

I'm of the opinion that the cost of screen readers ought to drop
drastically; it should be possible for me to WALK INTO WALMART, MICROCENTER,

BESTBUY and others and grab a copy of my trusted screen reader whatever name

it may elect to call itself!  Also, I think the time is ripe to invoke the
antitrust act against screen reader developers for purposes of guarding
against price gouching.  They're beginning to create silly vertical markets
and this is bad for business!  I believe that screen reader developers can
source sufficient capital for continued development from the stock market. 
Their stocks DO NOT have to be purchased by the blind only; other would-be
investors will chip in and earn a return on investment, however small this
might be.

$125 or more per hour for scripting an app is ludicrous; in the end, one
never GAINS COMPLETE ACCESS to the app anyway as the areas to be scripted
will need to be clearly defined.  Anyway, I've vented enough; noW IT'S time
to creep back into my wind vent!

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
