StdOut on Windows

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Mark,

I would like to find a solution that works for every blind person. This is either a screen reader or running the app from the command line with as few options and additional commands as possible. 

I hope that RunRev decides to change the engine to make it compatible with screen readers, just like RealStudio.
