Hi, Java and Java-Script are Apples and Oranges. The only thing that
they share is the word Java. So, it's not really a valid question in
terms of if one is supported it means that the other is added. That's
like asking, if Office is supported will iTunes be supported.
Many web pages already use java-script to code nice dynamic things which
change on the fly. In fact, you can even use java-script yourself to
write Window-Eyes scripts or apps. So, by that definition, yes,
java-script has been supported for a long time.
I hope that helps to clear things up.

Welcome to GW Micro's "Guess What?" series, an introductory look at the
highly anticipated release of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1.
We’ll be covering a new feature in Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 until its
release, so stop by our web site daily (www.gwmicro.com/beta
<http://www.gwmicro.com/beta>) to make sure you don't miss any of the
exciting new features.
Our "Guess What?" series continues with our next major feature
announcement of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 support for Java, Safe Mode, and
an easier way to use Window-Eyes Mobile! With JAVA support, this means
that you will now be able to access programs like Open Office, SPSS, and
more!
Let's check out how well Window-Eyes works with Open Office Writer,
which is a program that is JAVA-based. We have Writer open, so we will
type, "Have fun today!" As you can hear, Window-Eyes reads everything.
This would not have been the case in older versions of Window-Eyes.
Let's try to spell check the document. We will misspell the word "today"
as "tooday." Next, we will navigate the menu to find Check Spelling and
Grammar. First, press Alt and then Right Arrow to Tools. Then, press
Enter to open Tools. Spelling and Grammar is the first item in the
menu, so we will press Enter. The spell check dialog opens and we hear
that we are on the Change button. This means we need to press Shift-Tab
until we are on the list of suggestions. We hear "Today," so we can
press Alt-C to activate the Change button. We have now made the correction.
It should be noted that not all JAVA programs will work. They will only
work if they take advantage of the Access Bridge. Even programs like
Writer may have some issues because accessibility was not at the
forefront of the mind of the developer. However, none of what you heard
would have been possible to hear with previous versions of Window-Eyes.
The power of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 makes this all possible.
/Installation Notes/
Window-Eyes ships with the JAVA Access Bridge installer. If you use the
Quick Install option, the Access Bridge is installed automatically.
When you install Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 using the Custom Install, you
will be asked if you want to install the Access Bridge. It should be
noted that the Access Bridge does not look to see if you have JAVA
installed, so you may need to install JAVA after installing the Access
Bridge. In this instance, you may be required to run the Access Bridge
install again. This can be done from the Start menu under Advanced
Options in the Window-Eyes folder.
/Window-Eyes Mobile and Safe Mode Support/
Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 will now run on a system even if the Window-Eyes
video driver didn't load, or wasn't installed. The advantage of this is
that you can run it without having to install the video driver first.
This means you can walk up to a computer and immediately run Window-Eyes
from a USB flash drive (or other removable media) without the need for
administrative privileges or the need to install any additional drivers.
You don't even need to reboot the computer; it just works!
Note that if you do use Window-Eyes without its video driver in this
manner, you will be able to access the web and other information, but
you will not have access to certain features, such as using the mouse.
You may opt to run Window-Eyes from a flash drive by installing the
Window-Eyes video driver to ensure full access to the system just as you
have been able to do with previous versions of Window-Eyes.
Many of our customers have asked for access to Windows Safe Mode. Safe
Mode is a special way for Windows to start when there is a critical
problem. The purpose of Safe Mode is to allow you to investigate what
is causing the issue. The improved video driver in Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta
1 allows a user to use Window-Eyes while in Safe Mode! This new
functionality gives you access to part of the operating system that you
did not have access to previously.
An additional advantage is that if there are errors while loading the
video driver, Window-Eyes will tell you, but then will continue to run.
For example, if you've ever got a "Mirror driver installed, but not yet
running," or "Unable to communicate with video driver" errors, you know
how frustrating they can be. Now, Window-Eyes will continue running
giving you a much easier opportunity to resolve your video problems.
When trying to run Window-Eyes in Safe Mode, note that your hardware
configuration may affect if audio or other services are able to run. If
your hardware does not support this under Safe Mode, you may not be able
to use software requiring sound while in Safe Mode. Also note that
prior to running Windows in Safe Mode, you will need a registry key that
we will provide more details on when Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 ships.
We have a computer here setup in safe mode. Let's see how easy this is
to do. Simply press Control-Alt-W to start running Window-Eyes. As you
can hear, Window-Eyes immediately opened and began running in Windows
Safe Mode!
These exciting features are just a few of what we have in store for you.
As you can see, Window-Eyes continues to innovate every step of the way!
We hope today's "Guess What?" has given you a glimpse into the power of
Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1, and its innovative new support for JAVA and Safe
Mode.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's "Guess What?" to learn more about Window-Eyes
8.0 Beta 1!
