I will assume that many of the “features” requested by others will be addressed as the features they are requesting aren’t actually features they are bug fixes, namely stability and memory usage.
The most important issue to be addressed in the next version of Window-Eyes without a doubt is HTML5-ARIA support. That said, I have two additional items I would like to see addressed: 1. I am somewhat convinced that more and more computing will be done on Tablets in the future. Thus far however, it doesn’t look like a great share of the tablet market is running Windows-based operating systems. Nevertheless, for Windows-based tablets, touch support will likely be all but necessary.. Many Windows notebooks also support touch. 2. I too had become reliant on the virtual Mouse to access Web sites. It is sorely missed. I am not sold on the need for an integrated OCR feature. I will however defer to the numbers on this one. I haven’t heard many people raving about the OCR functionality currently available in other screen readers, only people on this list bemoaning its absence. Furthermore, as suggested on this list, this seems to be the perfect sort of project for a script writer. Apropos to improved Web support, I will second a previous poster’s suggestion that we should have the ability to jump to onclicks; the ability to Tab to them would also be nice. Many actions on my online broker’s site are onclicks. This is currently where I miss Mouse-access to Web pages the most. Thanks for your consideration.
