    Default building a screen reader with Lingo

    I am trying to create an application that allows a user to type into an editable field and want to have the letters and words typed spoken using the speech Xtra. When I make the field editable, however, the "on keydown" handler does not work. Is there any way to coordinate speech events with user-entered characters? Has anyone already built a screen reader (like Jaws or Window Eyes) with Director?

    one asided, when testing in authoring environment, you must be sure the
    stage window is frontmost, otherwise some key events get absorbed by
    director windows.
