Hi List,

is it possiblie to implement playing some sounds while choosing a menu
point? This is interesting for blind people choosing the right
menu-point. Imho It could look like this:

item --gap Window Options --play http://192.168.11.254/windowoptions.wav
item --key 0x107e --play http://192.168.11.254/startingwinxp.wav winxp
Start winxp

So if i go over a gap-entry, a soundfile is played and going to a
menupoint, an additional soundfile is played, which can be easyliy
prepared with the right voice-instructions and the right sound-format.

Alternativly showing the menupoint-text on braille display would be a
comparable alternativ, which seems not so hard to implement, if i
understand the interface of brailleline right.

Any ideas?

Tfh!

Oliver
