Also somewhat unrelated, but, my primary screen reader software, jaws, also allows you to generate scripts to sort of invoke multi-activity macro's with regards to operating system - so you could get it to click on a button, enter text in a field, move cursors around, etc. etc., repeatedly, if you wanted to - not really same as any form of bulk testing of software, etc., but, can interact with interfaces automatically, etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet..."
