Hey, Rod. The WE feature Max is referring to is this one, taken from the WE manual.
Finding Things on the Screen If you know there is a specific piece of text on the screen, you do not have to manually look for it yourself. Instead, use the Mouse Find dialog which is activated with Control-Shift-F. Doing so causes a dialog box to open which prompts you for the text to find. Tab through the rest of the dialog if the text for which you are searching also contains special attributes such as bold, underline, highlight, etc. You can also specify the boundary within which the mouse should confine its search. Finally, activate either the "Forward" or "Reverse" buttons to start searching in the specified direction from the pointer's position. If the text is found, the mouse will be positioned over it. Otherwise, Window-Eyes will inform you that it was unable to find the text, and the mouse will not move. You can also repeat the search by pressing Insert-F. Window-Eyes will continue searching for the text you specified earlier in the same direction. If, for example, you performed a reverse search for the word "Window-Eyes," Insert-F would continue looking for the word going in reverse. Of course, WE uses the Browse cursor when in Browse mode, allowing users access to text that has not yet scrolled onto the video screen's window. I too have thought it would be cool to be able to delete the search history from the find combo box. Thanks, Lou N. -----Original Message----- From: Rod Hutton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, February 15, 2014 12:44 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: Feature Suggestion, Text Search Hi Max, The Window-Eyes Auto Complete app controls what is spoken and it can be customized to your preference. See Auto Complete in the Ap menu in the Window-Eyes Control Panel. smile hth, Rod On 2/15/14 1:19 PM, Max G.
