Hi, Actually several of the accelerators are functional today with Window-Eyes. Those that operate on the full page or link work well. I use the share on facebook accelerator for example all the time.
The accelerators that operate on selected text don't really work so far with Window-Eyes when you select text in browse mode from my experience. Some of the webslices work well. They are really just mini web pages for the most part so can be a quick way to read small bits of web content.

As many of you know, Internet Explorer 8 boasts a number of new features, including Web slices, accelerators, InPrivate browsing, and SmartScreen filtering. From my reading of the help files, it seems that accelerators and Web slices might be difficult to work with and might be of limited use to blind users; on the other hand, InPrivate browsing, which even features a keyboard shortcut, ought to be easy to manage and quite helpful. Of the new features, which are accessible with Window-Eyes 7.01, and which do you find useful? I'm not asking for detailed instructions on how to use these attributes; I'm just looking for some general comments and pointers. thank you very much.
