Access to Microsoft Active Accessibility API?
Does Unity have access to the Microsoft Active Accessibility API? I want to make a game for the visually impaired and it would be great if there is a way to access the MAA API for allowing Screen Reader to read out the game interface for example.
That's not an answer, but I can't find the button to leave just a comment. Anyway, I'd like to know if you have solved. I'm interested too.
Thanks!
No I didn't. The way I'm solving it right now is by saving the data in the clipboard of windows and letting a screenreader read it out for me. Not really what I want but that's the solution until I find a better one. Would be nice if you comment here again in case you find a solution.
Sure. Forgive me for the question, but are you visually impaired?
No I'm not. It's a university project that I'm working on.

I'm researching this right now for a work project, and I came across Tolk. It's an open source library made to output text to screen readers. It was for instance successfully used in the game Skullgirls. They used the clipboard solution before as well, but this works a lot better it seems.
