In addition, Dolphin also offers scripting consultations to improve the accessibility of your project for people who are blind or partially sighted. Contact us for more details and to arrange an appointment.
"Screen readers traditionally don't support Project applications. So when I heard Dolphin did Scripting, I was all over it! This is fantastic, now there is no limit to what can be read."

- Retrieve and set dozens of magnification, speech and braille parameters from your application.
- Call SuperNova functions such as reading the current line or moving the magnification.
- Programmatically send custom messages to be announced by SuperNova.

“Dolphin API and Scripting services have changed my ability to earn a living. NovaTalk allows me to control SuperNova with my voice.”
Hussein Patwa from the company Extra Solutions used Dolphin API and Dolphin Scripting to create NovaTalk.
NovaTalk is middleware that enables PC users who are blind or partially sighted to control their PC with voice commands.
