Kelvin: This is terrific news! As you know, I am not in a position now to do the detailed beta testing we previously discussed due to the fact that I'm on travel. Hopefully, someone with experience both with Jaws and A C log can step up to the plate and help out until I return home. I would be extremely interested in any new A C Log tutorials you will be able to create after things have been tried and tested further, since I would like to use that program for general logging purposes. Also, once I'm back at the home QTH after September 10th, I'll be very happy to test out any of Scott's contest logging programs, since I enjoy using them and have found them to be very accessible prior to the latest updates. Please continue to communicate to Scott how much we appreciate his efforts on our behalf. Also, please know your efforts here are most appreciated as well.

I requested, and Scott has implemented full keyboard access to virtually every aspect of the logger, including the Cluster window, and apart from today's tweaks, I think it's just about done. Knowing how hard Scott works, I bet 4.2 will be out of Beta very soon I understand that Scott is also reincorporating the shared accessibility changes into his contest software at the moment. Whilst I'm not sure how accessible these programs will be, the setup dialogs that we were struggling with previously should be as they are in AC Log itself. Interestingly, Scott has used NVDA, whilst I've been testing with NVDA, System Access and Window-Eyes. All the screen readers work slightly differently, but NVDA and System Access are virtually identical and very good. I've found WE to be much more flexible, but I will need to use the Hot Spot app for some simple macros to get things the way I want them. Tom had offered to test using JAWS, but because of the speed Scott works, all the changes have been done. If there is an experienced AC Log user using JAWS, and you'd like to run some quick tests, please let me know ASAP. I say 'experienced' with AC Log, as you will need to know how the log works yourself with little or no training <smile>! All in all, it's been an interesting exercise, and it's been a pleasure to work with Scott N3FJP. Once the 4.2 version is live, I'll record some training MP3s.
