There is no doubt in my mind that web browsing has gone through its "giant leap" forward as this relates to Window-eyes. My bank's online site has the button to confirm a bill payment obscured in a frame. Window-eyes and Internet Explorer hated it. The button is now accessible. The site itself gives much more information. My local newspaper also is easier to navigate through its clutter.
Window-Eyes is definitely faster on my Windows 8.1.1 machine. But: like at least one other user, the "find" dialogue in Inter Explorer is sluggish. It also seems that Windows Explorer may also be a little slow. The Readme confirms my disappointment regarding braille enhancements. The Alva 640 Comfort's hot keys are not correct with respect to some of the labeling. Braille hot keys have not been properly grouped, and no braille auto scrolling. Direct contracted braille input has been asked for by some users andthis has not been implemented. It might be that more enhancements will be part of the final release - but this beta is off to an encouraging start, with more interaction on my part to be done. Vaughan.
