This is, from what I have read, quite possible. Basically you connect
the keyboard and the braille display to the computer, close the
computer lid, and then start typing on the keyboard to wake it up.
I'm pretty sure this can be done with bluetooth if you allow bluetooth

The major reason between JAWS and its scripting facility is that it
*must* have scripts to function. Just making VO scriptable doesn't
make it any more reliant on scripts than it is today but with
something like AppleScript, one can add some finesse to how VO

I think it sounds like a bad idea.
I don't think that this something to bother Apple accessibility over.
I think it's worth pointing out that many apps on the Mac are
scriptable and I think it is a mistake to read to much into why it was
added to vo. This only adds to the power of Voiceov
I think it would be a shame to lose the ability to script VoiceOver.

I agree with Barry. Adding script functionality to VO only increases its
power and also make things easier for elderly people who are learning to use
a Screen Reader for the first time. Personally, I think JFW like VO is

I think if you did this, you would need to write it too its own
function. Generally the events I have seen for AppleScript are not as
widely available as for example in jaws.
There are "Folder Action" scripts that can do special functions when a
file is added to or removed from a folder. (
Yuma, I think you have to have Snow Leopard for this combination to
work.

I'd need to agree with this.
It's ridiculous to encourage the abandonment of a feature simply
because you yourself might not like it or want to use it.
As long as it's not interfering with your use of the product,
complaining about it is really moot at best, and detrimental at wors
