[David Andrews]

I am not sure I understand the question?  It has been written in using programming practices and techniques that should guarantee that it works well with screen readers.

>>

>>replace, extract, or count patterns.
>>
>>*  Identify the current line, column, and percent position  of the cursor.
>>Query the number of characters, words, and lines in a document.
>>
>>*  Select any amount of text without having to hold down the Shift key.
>>Instead, mark the starting point of a selection,  navigate to the ending
>>point by whatever means, and then complete the selection.  Copy the entire
>>document to the clipboard with a single command, or copy its full path
>>with another one.
>>
>>*  Conveniently copy or cut the current line to the clipboard if no text
>>is selected.  Append to the clipboard rather than replacing it.  Check
>>what the clipboard currently contains.
>>
>>*  Navigate by paragraph, sentence, or chunk of non-blank characters.
>>Delete various segments, including the current line, to the end of the
>>line, to the start of the line, to the bottom of the document, or to the
>>top of the document.
>>
>>*  Trim extra blank spaces.  Repeat the current line with a quick copy
>>immediately below.  Insert the time.  Calculate and insert the day of week
>>that a date occurs, or the date of, say, the third Thursday of November
>>(Thanksgiving).
>>
>>*  Prepare a "structured text document" with a table of contents,
>>headings, and sections.  Navigate by section, search by topic, or toggle
>>between the table of contents and the body.  Convert a list of files in
>>other formats to text versions, or combine them into a single, ordered
>>text document.  Produce HTML format from regular text.
>>
>>*  Jump to a line number, or go to a percent point in the document.  Set
>>or go to a bookmark.  Adjust whether long lines are wrapped, or whether a
>>document is protected against accidental modification.  These settings are
>>restored the next time a file is opened.
>>
>>*  Run a spell check or thesaurus lookup.  Change the case of selected
>>text.  Clean up quoted email.  Start a new message with the current
>>document as its body or as an attachment.
>>
>>*  Configure the font and color of text to enhance its visual readability.
>>Sort lines, eliminate duplicates, or compare blocks, extracting lines that
>>are either different or the same.
>>
>>Every EdSharp command is available by menu selection or hot key.  All are
>>discussed in the documentation.  Tips to get started include the
>>following:
>>
>>By default, the installer sets Alt+Control+E as a hot key to load EdSharp
>>(though this option may be unchecked).  The HTML documentation is
>>presented at the end of installation, and is also available from the
>>EdSharp program group of the Start Menu or by pressing F1 when the program
>>is loaded.  Alt+Shift+H presents a hot key summary.  Alt+F10 presents an
>>alternate menu of every command in a single, alphabetized list.  F11
>>elevates to the latest version on the web.  The status line gives ongoing
>>messages, which EdSharp speaks selectively through the JAWS or Window-Eyes
>>screen readers if detected in memory.
