Making gbpvr accessible to the blind

[nallan]

Hi
Currently there doesn't seem to be a pvr application that is accessible to Blind computer users. I'm currently on a quest to find such an application. As gbpvr is written in .net it hopefully wouldn't be too dificult to provide the support for screen readers such as jaws. .net has support for Microsoft Active Accessibility built into the standard controls.
Areas in gbpvr such as the config are already accessible. Unfortunately the main interface doesn't speak at all. If you were to download a demo copy of jaws For Windows from http://www.freedomscientific.com and then just try to up and down arrow in the main interface of gbpvr, it would be expected that jaws would announce each option.
If the developer of gbpvr is interested in making gbpvr accesssible, please let me know as I am very willing to provide any information or testing required.

Regards Nick

im pretty sure mediaportal has a plugin that uses the microsoft text to speech lib (not sure whats it called exactly).

Sorry, it would like to say I'll do this, but way things are done in GB-PVR is really at odds with how these screen readers work. It would be so much work that I'll have to be honest and say it is unlikely this will ever happen.

Not trying to be a Richard here, but why are blind people watching TV? I assume for the Audio content alone?
