Features
The ZebraSpeak module adds text-to-speech and advanced keyboard interaction to iShell. Together, these two features enable you to create products in iShell that are accessible to blind and physically disabled users.
The Text-to-Speech works with Apple's built in speech synthesizers on Mac OS 9 and OS X. On Windows, it uses the Chant® SpeechKit® engine to provide compatibility with the main speech synthesizers for Windows, including the standard Microsoft¨ speech engines.
The Speak commands are very flexible, allowing you to speak the names and contents of elements, speak the contents of a text, rtf, or html file, or speak a string generated on the fly.
The keyboard interaction tools allow you to build a dynamic list of elements to receive keyboard events, so you can easily create and maintain complex keyboard navigation schemes. A special Tab Handler object is used to automate interaction with "tabbable" elements on a screen, elements that need to respond to the tab and return keys.
ZebraSpeak works with iShell 3 and iShell 4, and requires Mac OS 9, Mac OS X 10.2 or later, and Windows 95 or later.
