Hi all, Currently there's no description for the Web Client script available on Script Central. I've included information from the Help provided with the script below for anyone who might be wondering what this script does. I hope this helps. -Steve.
Press Control+Windows-W for a list of web client utilities. These are handy ways of getting useful information from free web 2.0 services. The following 20 utilities are installed (for efficient navigation, each has a unique initial character): EnglishDictionary Lookup - Get definitions and other informationabout a word. 508 Check - Check a web page for compliance with accessibility standards of the United States Government (Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act), as well as standards of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Address Lookup - Search for addresses of organizations meeting geographic and other criteria. Business Reviews - Search for reviews of a business by inputting its phone number. Common URLs - Show a list of the 100 most commonly referenced URLs on Twitter at the time. These typically point to news stories that people have been retweeting.

The location may be specified as a street address in any country. Feed Find - Get a list of RSS and ATOM feeds made available by a web site. Google Search and Set Suggestions - Propose a Google search and get a list of popular searches that are similar. Also Get a list of terms that may be part of the same set.

Term Extractions - Get noteworthy noun phrases contained in a web page. Zoom Info - Search for employment contacts by name or email address. Each utility is defined in a script file written in the Python language. The file name begins with the WebClient_ prefix and ends with the .py extension, e.g., WebClient_508Check.py The Python script file is run with a custom Python interpreter, InPy.exe, which is distributed with Homer Shared Object. A Console mode version, InPyC.exe, is also distributed to aid development of Python scripts. If run without parameters, it opens an interactive shell for testing commands and running scripts, similar to the full python.exe interpreter. The source code file, InPy.py, imports various web2.0 libraries, and defines many convenience functions. Web client utilities may be added to the list of available ones by using the same naming convention, e.g., WebClient_MyNewScript.py The Window-Eyes Web Client script remembers the last utility you chose, making it the default in the list. The information obtained by the utility is automatically saved in a text file and opened in your text editor (the program associated with .txt files in the Windows registry). Some utilities also open a web page automatically in your default browser. You can use the Help button of the Web Client dialog to review this documentation. This global script requires GW Toolkit and Homer Shared Object.
