Yahoo! Acquiring the beta now, and I can't wait! The servers are, to say
the least, absolutely slammed, but hey, I expected nothing less. Based
on the emails I've read so far, I will offer GW Micro a preemptory
congratulations! Hurray for the beta, and hurray for scripting! Course,
I'll probably work my sense of humor into any script I work on somehow...

After much anticipation, Window-Eyes 7.0 Beta 1 is now available.
Window-Eyes 7.0 Beta 1 offers the latest advancements in screen
reading technology, including full Unicode support, new scripting
functionality, web browsing enhancements, a new synthesizer, and much
more.
Full Unicode support means the ability to work with more international
languages. Web browsing enhancements mean easier navigation between
controls, and the ability to add placemarkers that can remember places
on a webpage even when the webpage changes. ECI Eloquence 6.1 is now
available as yet another speech option. Other enhancements like speed
increases for list views, the system tray, and error reporting, being
able to increase and decrease the speech rate during read to end, new
options for keyboard voice interruptability, and numerous bug fixes
make Window-Eyes 7.0 Beta 1 a welcome update.
The most notable enhancement in Window-Eyes 7.0 Beta 1, however, is
scripting. Window-Eyes scripting is unparalleled in its design and
implementation. Rather than require a scripter to learn a proprietary
language, Window-Eyes 7.0 Beta 1 allows a scripter to choose from a
number of standard computer languages for writing scripts. This means
that more people will be able to take advantage of Window-Eyes
scripting, and ultimately more accessibility to more software
applications. Access all Window-Eyes features and settings, all
operating system windows and properties, create custom accessible
dialogs for user interaction with power and ease, and more.
To make scripts easily accessible and encourage script development, GW
Micro has created a centralized script repository called Script
Central (www.gwmicro.com/sc </sc>). Script Central provides script
developers with the tools to distribute their scripts, and provides
scripts users the tools to download, comment, rate and track favorite
scripts. The GW Micro forums (www.gwmicro.com/forum </forum>) have
also been enhanced for general script discussions, script requests,
script announcements, and much more. While we encourage everyone to
take advantage of Script Central, Window-Eyes scripts can be hosted
anywhere and distributed by anyone.

offer, and download your copy, at www.gwmicro.com/beta </beta>.
