Talking Alarm Clock supports Microsoft^® Active Accessibility (MSAA), and is designed for compatibility with Window-Eyes from GW Micro Inc.  It has also been tested with Jaws from Freedom Scientific and with Microsoft^® Narrator.

Here are a few hints for using Talking Alarm Clock with a screen reader:

• The main Alarm Clock window is composed of two panes.  The top pane shows the selected alarm, and the bottom pane shows a list of all alarms.

• To select an alarm from the alarm list, use the arrow keys to highlight it and the space bar to select it.

• To move the input focus between the list pane at the bottom and the detail pane at the top, use the F6 key.

• The detail pane contains two tab pages called Schedule and Options.  When the input focus is in the detail pane, you can change pages using Control+Tab.

• Any control where a number can be typed will also increment or decrement the number using the up and down arrow keys.  This applies to all date and time fields, including the month.

• The toolbars used in Talking Alarm Clock can be reached using the tab key.  However, on all Windows^® versions earlier than Windows^® XP they do not respond to keyboard input.  This issue is being addressed.

• The Talking Alarm Clock includes extensive context-sensitive help accessed using the F1 key.  However, the help is not currently read by Window-Eyes.  This issue is being addressed.
