Lloyd,

The difficulties you describe are overcome by converting the graphic
user interface into a conversational user interface or "CUI".

Using our IN CUBE Enhanced Access speech recognition system you will
be able to navigate windows using voice commands without knowing or
caring where the icons or windows are located.  When you want
WordPerfect, you just say its name.  IN CUBE opens the application
from an icon, changes focus to the application, or starts up the
application if it's not already running.  The screen reader reads
the application title to provide you the verification that you are
where you want to be.  You can also use IN CUBE for voice macro
command input to control your screen reader and for command input to
your applications.

IN CUBE Enhanced Access will be marketed through the Windows screen
reader vendors and a press release is being prepared.  If you would
like to get on our marketing department's mailing list, send me your
address.
