Custom Scripts

Custom Scripts PAC Mate allows users to create scripts in order to customize most standard Pocket PC applications for speech access. If you are familiar with JAWS scripts, then you already know how to do scripting for PAC Mate. In fact, you will need to use JAWS Script Manager on your PC to compile your script files before transferring them to PAC Mate.

To help you with scripting, Freedom Scientific has put together a comprehensive Script Function Reference Manual.

If you are new to script writing, you may also wish to peruse the JAWS Basics of Scripting Manual

Note-- Please ensure you are using the correct compiler for the intended PAC Mate Platform. You may download an archive containing the two compilers. Download the scompiler archive

PAC Mate Platform scompile Version Originally located
BX/QX 5.10.382 Found in either default JAWS 5.0 or 5.10 folder
BNS/TNS 1.0 Located in the Freedom Scientific Developers Network Package

Here are PAC Mate scripts contributed by PAC Mate users.The majority of scripts on this page have not been tested with the PAC Mate Omni and we do not recommend you install them on your PAC Mate Omni. As the scripts are tested or newer versions of the scripts released their descriptions will be updated to reflect their Omni support, so please check back often. The descriptions list the last known version of the PAC Mate firmware that the scripts were successfully tested to run under.

To determine your PAC Mate's firmware do the following:

  1. on a BX use i-chord (dots 2-4 with space) On a QX use JawsKey+i
  2. Press a (dot 1)
  3. Down arrow to JAWS for Pocket PC version X where X represents your Version number E.I 4.1.61.
If your PAC Mate is running Version 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0 or 4.1. You have the BX/QX with out the Omni upgrade. If you have Version 6.0, you have a PAC Mate Omni.
