Difficulties for the blind on the newer versions of e-Sword

i am only newly registered on this forum this morning, and I didn't want to duplicate a known issue, therefore I did a search for the word 'blind' and didn't see any topics on this, but I did see some non-specific references referring to accessibility issues and the newer versions of the software.
I appreciate any help or maybe a work around tip for this issue.

will not work with his screen grabber software.
What screen reader program is he using?
I haven't found one that works correctly with e-Sword 10.x.

I think that e-Sword 7.9.4 is the most accessible version of e-Sword.
Considering the the blind_e-Sword list is virtually dead, I suspect that most blind users have migrated to another program. However, I don't know which one.

They may have gone to sites like this: http://bartimaeus.us/
Or websites, such as http://biblos.com/ where the web browser will synchronize Bible text with various commentaries. I bet they're using online resources, some of which are probably a lot more blind friendly than biblos. I imagine web browsers can be made very blind friendly, depending on which site the person visits.

Offline.
Most of the online bible study sites that allow users to take notes, require a mouse for navigation.
I imagine web browsers can be made very blind friendly, depending on which site the person visits.
Whilst web sites can be made blind-friendly, most webdesigners seem to delight in providing a11y-hostile sites.
Flash, java, javascript, automatic audio on, and unlabelled imaged combine to make websites unusable with browsers and screen readers.
The simple rule is that if a site can't be navigated using Lynx, with cookies turned off, the site is a11y-hostile.
Alternatively, throw away your monitor, keyboard, audio card, and mouse, and spend an hour navigating your website. If there are no differences between that experience, and using those tools, an A11Y friendly site has been constructed.
