MUSHclient: for an accessible, stable and powerful MUDding experience

2. JAWS: primary speech Plugin3. Window Eyes: primary speech Plugin4. SAPI 5: primary speech Plugin


Window eyes, like JAWS, also allows you to interface with a Com component. In non-geek-speak, this means that a plugin very similar to that for JAWS lets you use MUSHclient in precisely the same way. Window eyes registers its plugIn on installation for every instance I have seen, so there’s no need to worry about doing it yourself. all you need to do is Download the Window-Eyes Plugin and install it per the instructions on the first page, and hopefully you should have speech.

I don’t personally use Window Eyes myself, so any testing and feedback is greatly appreciated.

    in mush client if you set a trigger for * and put the output to tts_stop /n then you can have a VERY functional reader for MUDS without using a screenreader like jaws or even nvda…however because you will sometimes miss a tell from friends etc. while playing like this, it is important to have a channel history (standard) so you can replay messages sent by friends.etc.

    So to clarify what I am saying is that the TTS_sapi plugin works fine alone, ive been playing mushs like this for awhile now…but you need that trigger to make the output non-spammy. Make sure you set the output to command though and NOT world…or the trigger will crash the client with spammed commands. Also only the first 3 checkboxes should be checked, leave the others all blank.

    I am currently (after completing the simple * trigger) in the process of making/discovering a trigger than now eliminates all the silly characters you dont need read like brackets and vertical lines…please look forward to these fully functional mush 4.51 clients with TTS plugins for full functionality MUDS without the use of ANY screenreader (and still plays less spammy than them anyways)…also now working with Dragon to get muds into the abilities of those who cannot type for various reasons.

    Have a good One!!!

    PS the trigger doesnt work yet on any input from the num-pad, but this also will be solved soon!
