I'm not sure if the UIA integration is that complete. I don't see how, without a higher level API, the console will be able to understand that what's presented on the screen is actually a menu. I'm not sure even if libraries such as (n)curses provide that semantic support. But I'll ask.

E.G. if I'm being asked to select an option from a menu using the arrow keys will Narrator automaticly read the option in focus? Cheers, Ben. On 10/14/17, Steve Matzura <sm@noisynotes.com> wrote:
This sounds quite good. I hope it lives up to and maybe even exceeds the demo.

Since quite a few of you use the Windows console, I thought I'd bring to your attention some major accessibility improvement in the terminal/console experience coming in the next Fall Creators Update. You can find more details and a short demo at https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.msdn.microsoft.com%2Fcommandline%2F2017%2F10%2F11%2Fwhats-new-in-windows-console-in-windows-10-fall-creators-update%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cgianugo.rabellino%40microsoft.com%7Ca179dec01e564f73452208d513eaacfb%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636436821003196300&sdata=NzSD22GheEQhXr8kQD5LmbTZuw8%2BAtrEMnGVclhFY0A%3D&reserved=0. We would love to hear your feedback on the new integration with Narrator (and other screen readers): I, for one, am excited to see the new architectural changes that will hopefully pave the way for better integration going forward.
