Please read the entire document before trying to use the new tool. This file was tested for accessibility before being distributed. 1. Remember it only runs on Windows. 2. This tool replaces all the steps between using the print screen button and saving a file in MS Paint. 3. This tool captures the window that has focus only. It does not capture the entire desktop. You still need to verify which window has current focus prior to executing the program. This is for your security and privacy. 4. The image format used is PNG. The file size is much smaller and easier to work with. 5. The tool performs an automatic scroll and captures the entire vertical window that has focus. Basically, the entire webpage is captured. This means that you should not get a message from a Solona Operator telling you to scroll down so that I can see the captcha. It is still suggested that you maximize your browser window before capturing a screen and submit the image to Solona before you fill in the form with any personal information. 6. Images need to be active in your browser settings in order for this tool to work properly. 7. This tool consumes less than 2 megabytes of RAM within your system. 8. The only way to access the configuration and settings page is by opening the program from the system tray of windows. 9. The tool overwrites the image over and over with the same file name. This is to ensure that you always have the latest image necessary for processing. 10. Windows Eyes Screen Reader Users: please pay close attention to the hot key combination statements in the text below to avoid possible hot key conflicts with existing settings. 11. There is no EULA for this program 12. This program will work in Vista and Windows 7. 13. The program does not "install". Rather, it is simply started when you execute the file solona.exe. Topic: How to Install the Solona Tool. 1. Create a new folder on your local drive called solona 2. Save the tool archive file to that folder, and unzip the contents to that folder. 3. This is all there is to do for installing the software. It runs as an independent tool. The only way to start the tool each time you start Windows is to place a shortcut to it in your startup folder. Topic: How to Configure the Tool The program starts and loads as an icon in the system tray of your desktop. It should be called 'Button' by your screen reader software. I realize that this is not that accessible, and it will be fixed in the next release. There are 2 areas of configuration: 1. the shortcut key combination sequence, and 2. the filename and location parameter. By default, the hot key is control + shift + S. This can be changed to anything you like that includes shift, control, alt and any alpha numeic key on the keyboard. By default, the filename is c:\11.png . This can be changed, but keep in mind that a longer path and file name take longer to type. The extension should always be .png. These are the only things you can change about the program. Everything else is taken care of. Topic: How to use the Tool. 1. Start the tool by running Solona.exe 2. Navigate to the page that has a captcha that needs to be solved. 3. Execute the Solona program hot key combo to capture the screen and save the file before you fill in any personal information on the form. This is for your privacy and security. If you use the default setting, you would type control + shift + S. You should hear a camera sound indicating that the window was captured. 4. Navigate to www.solona.net and login to your account. 5. Navigate to the Submit a Captcha page and simply type the path and file name into the dialogue box. If you use the default setting, you would type c:\11.png. This means that you don't have to browse for the file. Just type in the path and file name. It's just that easy! 6. Click the send button 7. Wait for your captcha code to be returned to you just like before. Basically, the steps are the same as before.
