Re: [orca-list] Video interceptor

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

As far as I know, Video Intercepter is only found in Jaws.  I don't think
Window Eyes and NVDA use it.  I also don't think it's used in Linux since
Linux has at-spi which is far more comprehensive than MSAA.  MSAA is
Microsoft Accessibility so, you will not find it in Linux at all and, even
in Windows it is being replaced by UIA because it is so out dated.  

HTH,

Hi,

I have to do a talk soon about the screen readers, and I'll talk about ORCA,
of course. I wonder if someone can help me about a technical
point: video interceptor.
I'd like to know what's this and how it works (in the guidelines), to
compare with commercial screen readers such as Jaws for Windows. If I
understand, it's an utility which enables a screen reader to understand the
widgets that are not connected to the MSAA. Am I right? Could I be more
precise or more exact technically  ? On Linux, could an equivalent exist or
is it excluded?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
