Short paths in Visual Studio Output Window

Hello,
I work with Visual Studio via a screen reader cause I'm blind. When I need to read the Output Window after building a project it takes unbearable amount of time because all file paths in the log are displayed in absolute format and can be terribly long. Can I somehow force the compiler to display relative or short paths?
