Hi Dave, thank you very much for the response. You can obtain a free license of JAWS, good until June 30 at:
Even the demo version of JAWS runs for 40 minutes at a time. Also there is a free screen reader known as NVDA which can be downloaded at:
Look for the check box called "NV Access". If you are interested in improving the accessibility I would definitely be willing to provide you with a full JAWS license. I can also get a few blind hams to test as well. You can contact me on this list or direct at:

+ AA6YQ comments below
Hi all, I am trying to use DX Commander with two different Icom rigs; one being an ic7300 and the other an ic7100. Being blind I use a screen reader and am running into difficulties in the configuration dialog. I cannot press TAB to move to the next control and the controls are not read in the configuration screens. Is there any means of making this a little more accessible?
+ I have control over tab order, but if JAWS cannot identify the configuration controls, there is nothing I can do about that.
+ I asked Freedom Scientific for a copy of JAWS so I could improve its usefulness with DXLab applications, but they declined.
73,
Dave, AA6YQ
