RunRev Accessibility

[Tereza Snyder]

Hiya all,

Does anyone know (spare me the testing!) whether apps made with RunRev  
using ordinary controls are accessible to screen readers out of the  
box? I have over the years implemented various accessibility modes in  
apps using Rev—single-switch access comes to mind—but I've yet to  
tackle screen-reader access in Rev. I know Hypercard wasn't accessible  
because I had to implement a blind-access mode for a major application  
back in the day when I worked at the Trace Center (http:// 
trace.wisc.edu), and I suspect Runtime Revolution isn't because—at  
least in the beginning—'system' controls were emulated. But is that  
still the case? on all platforms?

A client has a C application that has bogged down in development. I  
know I can redo it in Rev and carry it forward expeditiously; however  
there's a federal grant involved and furthermore the client is  
committed to universal access.

Anyone have a clue?
