Hi Eric: I believe that if Auto Browse Mode can be implemented in Window-Eyes, it would not be forced on everyone. In my case, I have VERY LONG COMPLICATED MEDICAL CLAIMS forms to fill out. For example, I supply a customer wipes, total of 63 for each day to equal 30/31 days (28 or 29 days in the case of February). Using the current method, it takes nearly an hour and a half to complete the exercise. The way the powers that be have it set up, I can't simply enter a range of dates to bill for. Each day MUST BE billed separately, no future dates allowed.
I think that an Auto Browse Mode feature MIGHT CUT DOWN my time by may be 45 minutes. I generally have about ten of these claims each month. A royal pain! When possible, I have our boys do it for me because they can do it a bit faster by simply hovering the mouse over which date they want to populate the form with and do a quick click. It takes 15 minutes or less to complete each claim this way. Using a screen reader, and, as I said the way the claims form is designed leaves much to be dewsired, I DO NOT enjoy the same luxury our boys have with the form. I can't even extract and EMail the form to anyone for a close examination. It has to be filled out online on a state operated web portal. The site is poorly designed and I am wrestling with the state daily to have things fixed. I've played with the auto forms mode in the Jaws demo I keep around so I can help some of my customers. I think I like what I was able to observe. I have reason to believe that GW Micro would have an even better implementation of the Auto Browse Mode if it does it. I didn't say the foregoing about GW Micro to make the heart skip beats! Window-Eyes, even though I am NOT A HAPPY CAMPER with Version 7.5.1, is the ONLY SCREEN READER I can use for accessing the Web Portal I alluded to; Jaws could not even SHAKE A STICK at it. I've not tried System Access or NVDA, but may be I should at some point in time. I can understand why your clients MIGHT NOT LIKE an Auto Browse Mode. No one likes change, but if CHANGE helps me improve on how I get my job done, I welcome it wholeheartedly and I'll learn. I don't use Windows7 right now because all the software I run at work would only work under Windows XP Professional. Not enough reasonably accessible software out there in the marketplace to run a POINT OF SALE that process credit cards and electronic checks via the computer, so I am stuck with what I can get at the present moment.
