Rreading out the attributes of a screen and pipe them into programm that can handel them and react in some way brings up a higher flexibility. Suse-Blinux reads out for example the color or a underlined part on the screen and in a profile you can tell the screenreader, what to do with this things. That makes it very easy to work with programms like mc or the configurationstool of SuSE called yast2, you can underline links in a browser or take a look at a statusline and when it changes it comes up on the brailledisplay. Attributes are also good for the speechoutput. Only the "interesting" things on the screen are outputet of the speechsynth.
