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..... 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.
