Hi,
Well I am a very happy window-eyes user. So the below is just a view
ideas
that might make things a little better.
Quite frankly, at times I find window eyes to be too verbose. Or
there is
no way to make it speak how I wish to speak. However, I can have it
show me
what I want to see on the Braille display for the most part.
An example, I would really like. When I change focus for window eyes to
speak name type data. So let us say I focus on a file named edit box
window
eyes would then say file name edit box Jim.txt this happens in Braille,
because I have the option for it. It however I cannot do this is speech.
Also, there is no means of changing a window eyes message.
For example, there is no way for me to change the phrase pulldown to
submenu.
When dealing with message boxes. It would be really nice if we had an
additional option read relevant information. This is generally the
message
box title static text and the focus button. I do not want to have to
press
a key to read my message box. However I do not want to read the entire
window either automatically. I would really like just the relevant
information.
When toggling the state of check boxes. It would really be nice just to
hear the state. I do not need the name of the checkbox repeated this
information has not changed. The state has changed and this is the
information I require.
The text associated with buttons needs to be treated as a field name.
Not
fill the data this way. When you turn on the option for name type data.
You will see yes button, versus button yes.
Dealing with group boxes, I love the window eyes reads the name of the
group
and then the information within the group. For example, green play
play all
button. This is wonderful. However, when I tab To all the controls
in this
group. Window eyes will then say green play loop checkbox. My group
information has not changed. So why do I need to read again?
Wouldn't it
make more sense to read the new group with the changes. And if all
groups
are left is a leading groups or to provide some other notification that
group boxes are no longer active. This would cut down on a great deal of
verbosity, and still provide the user with all of the necessary
information
also a tag of group box should be added to the user has some indication
that he is actually dealing with the group box.
A field name is in actuality a prompt. so a tag of prompt could be
added to
say prompt. for example file name prompt edit box jim.txt
having full c control of what tags are read and what are not would be
nice
to. so for example I might want to hear radio buttons tagged but check
boxes the unchecked or checked cue would be enough so I could turn off
the
check box tag.
I would really like to see GW micro expand its verbosity options to
give the
user complete control of what they hear and how they hear it.
