I recently switched from a desktop running Windows XP to a laptop running
Windows 7. So far, I haven't created a specific SET file for Window-Eyes
and N1MM Logger, but I probably will do this, or copy the old one from the
XP machine.
I don't use very many features of the program, and I accept a certain amount
of weirdness. Your frequency appears in the title bar. Your current score,
the country and bearing of a station you are entering, and other
information, appear on the bottom line of the logging window. I put the
mouse pointer down there when I want to read this. As you tab through
fields or hit the spacebar, the station callsign is on one line, while the
rest of the exchange is on another. Pressing Tab causes the headers for
this line to be spoken, because they look like a field name to Window-Eyes.
When I want to keep track of the serial number I am sending, I put my cursor
in another spot a little further down the window. Last winter, on the other
computer, I had set up a window that would automatically speak when a
certain color appeared, causing Window-Eyes to say "dupe" when I was making
a duplicate QSO. N1MM now has customizations which allow certain WAV files
to be spoken under some conditions, but I haven't tried setting this up yet.
I think the program is written in a version of Visual BASIC, so most of its
controls are standard. But they are often arranged in grids, or you can
open a large number of relevant windows and produce a very cluttered
display. The program's configuration screen is extremely complicated; I
don't know how many items are in the tab order; it pays to read the manual
to learn about the sections of this screen before you make too many changes.
But I would say that this program has a lot of potential, and we haven't
reached the limits of what you could do with it. Generally if something
like this works with Window-Eyes, it should work at least as well with JAWS.
73 and good luck in whatever contests you enter. Lloyd, W3IUU
