Hi,
Yes we do have an option on each page of the installation to switch on/off
our captions and voice-overs, so they can very easily switch it on and off,
so its highly visible to do this.
All I was trying to do is choose a sensible default at startup under both
scenarios (normal user / a voice-over user), as we always want our
voice-over on. Doing this was to make things slightly better if we can
otherwise if we cannot detect anything then we'll continue as usual and the
user will get double speech.
I'm wondering if we think we can detect JAWs (PC side) or Voice-over (Mac
side) technology running then we ask the user, if they would like us to
leave our voice-overs on ? And if we cannot detect anything then just
continue as with our voice over's on. Then at least we tried to do something
half sensible ?, as this would limit the user getting a larger amount of
double speech compared. To a simple statement repeated twice e.g. "We have
detected an accessibility process running, would you like us to keep our
voice-overs on ?" with Yes and No button.
Yes, as far as I can tell this approach makes sense.
david.
