Is CT reliable at doing this?

I remember. To add to this nuisance, Sonar isn't reliable in terms of 
where it inserts effects. Sometimes, even if you position your cursor on 
one effect, it always inserts in the wrong place.

NVDA can't even see the effect names with its screen scraping at 
present, so this probably isn't going to be possible for now. Even if it 
could, it'd be unreliable at best; screen scraping always is.

Actually, there's a lot in Sonar that NVDA's screen scraping can't see, 
which is something we're trying to figure out at the moment. It should 
always be a last resort, but sometimes, it's a very useful last resort.
