Week 9 – Keystroke Interception!

A police interceptor. We’re working on intercepting keystrokes this week.

In prior weeks, we have worked on intercepting keystrokes from JAWS. This week, James Datray from Freedom Scientific informed us about how to best implement keystroke interception. He suggested that we use JAWS scripts to obtain information about the virtual cursor on a webpage. We are able to obtain several important types of information from the virtual cursor, including but not limited to HTML tag, XML element, and MSAA object. Fortunately, Mr. Datray gave us a script that runs code that we can model our solution after. Once this is complete, we will be one step closer to our third prototype, which we are excited to present to Freedom Scientific. We will also be visiting their offices in Tampa, FL on March 28, and will enjoy presenting our work to their engineers.
