Visually impaired user needs more text based file browser

I have a friend who runs a program called JAWS that reads the words from his

active window to him. He is having a hard time dealing with windows

explorer. He does not use the mouse at all and relies entirely on memorized

commands. Are there more text based options with Windows XP, especially in

terms of Windows Explorer?

I recall the software that someone used.. it enabled you to control all of

windows with voice commands... everything is controllable with the

software..

 

I did a little search and found it.. it was called windows-eyes.. see here

I think she said it was the best one!

 

Hope this helps.. tells me if it does...

sorry .. I meant to say that everything was read from the screen in a voice

so that the user could "hear" the commands instead of reading them...

 

sorry Im overloading with information .. lol
