[g-a-devel]Gnopernicus and Balsa

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

Hi All,

Gnopernicus does work with Balsa.  However, there are a few issues:

1. With speech, the least relevant things about table lines are read first 
(I.E. "table line" and the number of items).  Most of the time, I could 
care less how many items are in a table line.  Imho, the default ought to 
be just to read the contents of the table line and then maybe say table 
line, althought saying "table line" isn't incredibly useful.

2. The text box which displays the email message doesn't have a cursor, 
since it's not editable.  gnopernicus apparently has no way to review/read 
this text.  I think at the very least, we need a command on the numeric 
pad to read the contents of the current item.

3. The Braille display of table lines is confusing-- the dots 4568 used to 
separate columns is good, but there needs to be spaces between the end of 
the text of the table column and the column separator.  Otherwise, it all 
sorta runs together and it's hard to distinguish where the table columns 
are divided.  Just my opinion.

BTW, for anyone else who wants to try this, just know that all the 
labels for the text boxes you have to fill in follow the textboxes-- 
so use numpad six to find them when you hear "text".
