I’m seriously, considering getting window-eyes, but I do have a few
questions, some of which are probably fairly basic. First off, the user
stuff. When I compare the main Facebook page appearance in window-eyes
to what I’m used to seeing in jaws or system access, it looks totally,
totally different. There’s duplicate links, and controls, and things
that would be push buttons in one screen reader are showing up as like
drop down lists or something and I can’t find half the stuff I’m used
to finding with the other two products. I’m assuming this is just a
Facebook thing and that window-eyes has done something different to the
layout of the page? Can you use the main Facebook site and use it well?
Second, I use jart for a lot of my word processing stuff and I’m
noticing that when I spell check things, I can’t tell exactly what is
miss-spelled, or how to read it in context in the sentence. The jart
scripts are nice, but it seems that this particular area was either
overlooked or has changed since they were written. And finally, I’ve
noticed that since the release of Skype 5.5 there seems to be a general
problem for most screen readers to work with this application. I mean,
you can use the gwmicro scripts that are there, but the system tray
icon is unclickable in most cases. In order to use Skype and use it
without any conflicts in reading and functionality, I’ve had to revert
back to Skype 5.3. Does anyone know if there are plans to release some
updated Skype support? Those are all my questions for now. Thanks for
your help all. Take care, Scott
