Breaking News: windows 10 are you willing to give up your privacy?
Hi! Yes, the way of the future is all your privacy is lost. Everyone is spying on everyone. My Breaking News keeps the spying away until you go to the web site. So, Breaking News 3.1 is now posted and has several changes in it. You now have 7 items to enter on the alert for your web page. Added are the Block check box and the End Block search phrase, to mark the end of the block you want read. Note: If you do not check the check box, or the first phrase is not found, the End block phrase will be your second search phrase. So, now you have 3 searches done, the first phrase, then the end block phrase, and a search for the Heading 1 font search. I have added a menu for the downloaded web page text read for handy hotkey functions. A File, Edit, View, and Help menu is added. The file menu also has a download for downloading and saving files. The view menu has the 3 options for viewing a web page, text, link, and go to the page. The edit features are Find phrase, Reverse search, and go to a line number. The help menu is the simple standard help. In the future I will make all dialog menus have the same features but the edit menu which are obviously different when using an edit box. I will change the help menu in the future to list the hotkeys and an explanation of each, along with them being functional. So, it is now ready for download.

Reading with the physical mouse in WE 9.2
The 9.2 readme says that reading with the physical mouse in IE 11 has been improved. Does this mean that reading with the physical mouse with 9.2 in IE 11 is about as good as reading with the physical mouse in IE 8 has been? I do a lot of web page reading with the physical mouse and don't want to upgrade to IE 11 until I have reason to believe mouse reading will work pretty well. I don't know if I could revert to IE 8 once I go to IE 11.

Re: Windows Explorer in Windows 7
It has been my experience that size is not listed for folders in Windows Explorer. Is it possible you used another program for a while, say something like Xplorer? You can get folder info by opening the properties with the shortcut key of alt plus enter. The total size is listed along with the number of files and folders inside the folder in question.

just checking details will not always show the file size and date. you have to open a windows pull down, folder options then details i think and check the columns you want to show. the first is name and can not be hidden. you can if you open the w e control panel/apps. then arrow to windows enhanced and check show all colums.

RE: Screen Reader History

Remember those nasty punch cards? You certainly hoped that no one tripped you up, or you spilled soda on them, for that nasty picking up the cards and sorting them out...boy those were the days. I had used basic, self taught for work and re-wrote a Cornel University experts software he had written for the NCR production line. It did little, so I did it. I wrote all 3 points, Data Entry, Data processing, and Data printing of the charts. All were for quality control all through the production line for all printers and terminals produced at the Ithaca plant... Remember, cassette tapes were used back then for data processing, along with 10 inch disks, that had only about 2K of memory/space on them. All the data entered by the secretary was processed one at a time and by noon the data was sorted and processed. I used the 2K disks and limited memory to do al this stuff... Talk about the stone age, you certainly learned to use limited space for everything, for you had no choice. But it worked, in fact, was all done 6 months before I went blind, a car accident, and it was my perfect transition over to a new job at the same company; I was there resident expert and saved the company, so I was told. Then, after loosing the eye sight I was given a Braille machine, which was like having a file cabinet next to you. It was made out of Oak wood, for the printing punches had to be kept quiet and strong enough to be kept from bouncing around, thus the solid wood cabinet was used and a tray under it for the perforated Braille paper that came up through a slot as the tractor pulled it up. Yes, TriFormations produced that Brailler... The good old days, or Stone Age as most people would say now. You know, like the slide rule, our hand held computer back in prehistoric times...

Around 1983 or 84 i started taking some BASIC programming language classes at my local Radio Shack.they had several Model 4's that ran Trsdos and CPM. the instructor had rigged up the systems to speak. it was quite crude and was not a Screen Reader at all. No way to repeat anything. but it was a start, I knew right there and then, I wanted a Computer. I begged, borrowed and stole enough to finally get one of those Model 4 systems. Bought some actual Screen Reader for about $300 and I wa son my way. Loved playing Zork, and many other Infocomm games. I was in a Relationship that went bad. The woman gave me back my engagement ring, and I traded it to a guy that had several IBM XT machines. And once I had my first MS Dos system, there was no looking back.This may have been around 1986 or 87.I am so glad that woman broke up with me! Because she did, I had a Career in Computers. Too funny. Bought a screen reader out of Ohio, think it was called Enhanced PC. then bought the one done by Arctic. finally came on to Vocal Eyes around 1991 or 92. When Windows 3.1 came along, I did purchase some windows Screen Reader out of Canada. It sucked, but I needed it for work. i bought the Window eyes program when it came along. And it was a bit limited, but it worked well enough for me to keep my job. Been with Window eyes to this day. have yet to buy JAWS, although I've helped others who have it. thanks for the walk down memory lane. edline! Now that makes me laugh.i once had to use that very limited editor to write COBOL and JCL. Was using a PC hooked up to a huge mainframe at Boeing. I kept wanting to use Word Star to write my code, but was told to use Edline or else! Crazy times back then. -- Dave

Re: windows 10
Actually, while it will not share your password with anyone it will allow anyone in your Outlook or Skype contacts to connect to your wifi, e.g. a friend comes to your home with their phone, tablet, etc. they will automatically be connected to your wifi. But this is only for internet use. They will have no access to your computer or network. And of course you can disable all of these things if you wish. So the real question is do I trust those who are in my contacts and close enough to connect to my internet connection, be it with or without my knowledge, not to be performing nefarious tasks that will point to my IP address?

RE: Screen Reader History
Like many here, I began with a Tri-Formations Free Scan Speech Terminal, FSST. As well as using it to connect me to main frame computers I also used it to connect to a CP/M microcomputer to run Word Star and program in Dbase. I didn't have the honour of using punch cards. When we moved to PCDOS, which changed to MSDOS, my screen reader on that platform was something simple like Talk. The IBM microcomputers only had ten function keys and this screen reader used them to read line and perform the other functions. The external synthesizer was awful, I think it was a Type n' Speak. People were pushing ASAP, Artic and JAWS. I ended up getting Vocal-Eyes with the Sounding Board which was a huge step up for me. I continue to use it until we brought in Windows for work groups. I didn't worry about a Windows screen reader, because I could run Vocal-Eyes in all the windows for each application I needed to use. These were still more or less DOS based; examples are Word Perfect, Dbase, terminal emulation etc. When Lotus Notes came into our environment I had to shop for something that would then be Windows happy. Artic kept crashing, ASAW was not quite there and JAWS couldn't see the Notes screens, but Window-Eyes could. Also back then the Jaws cursor didn't show mouse movements on the screen. I had to train people and do demonstrations. Sighted people like their mouse pointers and Window-Eyes allowed me to use the mouse navigation keys to work in those situations. It seems like those of us who started using synthesizers, like the FFST terminals that were built out of a Heath Kit box are mostly OK with synthesizers that don't quite sound like human speech. Heck even those FFST devices would change a couple of words by replacing them with sugar or fudge. Even the tech sector had a paternalistic view toward providing us with products.

Re: Windows Explorer in Windows 7
Thanks for the very fine instructions. while I checked what I wanted reported, when scrolling through files in Win 7 Windows Explorer, unfortunately, nothing changed, as far as what was read. I had about 290 items I could Check or Un check, but nothing changed. I have seen this before now, so this is not new to just 9.1, or 9.X. I have seen files get read, along with the file type and its size, and even the date it was put in this folder. Then other times, and this is most other times, I get a file name, and not even a file type, or anything else. Always figured it was some hidden away setting in either Windows or Window Eyes, but never really knew what else to look for. As to why all the file info gets read occasionally, well, that is a good question, and I can not give you an answer for that one. -- Dave dlh...@centurylink.net ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

downgrading to window-eyes 9.1

Is there any way of getting ahold of a 9.1 upgrade file? I can certainly uninstall and re-install Window-eyes, but I'd like to go back to 9.1. You'll have to forgive me if this seems obvious but I've never had to do this sort of thing before. This is the first time i've ever had an issue like this.

Re: downgrading to window-eyes 9.1
I think I downloaded that upgrade file from the GW Micro site, but it may no longer be available now that 9.2 is here. I doubt if you could even by a replacement disc for $25, and have it be 9.1. You might try, but if they have 9.2 discs, they won't sell you an older version. I attempted to go back to 6.1, a few years ago, when I think it was version 7 was rather buggy, or was that 8?And GW Micro would not sell me a replacement for the older 6.1. I take it 9.2 is not working well for you? Worse than 9.1?I was just considering ordering a 9.2 disc, or at least buying the upgrade. Are you suggesting that I should wait a bit further, maybe for a 9.3? I am not rushing into downloading Win 10, so no need to be forced to use 9.2. -- Dave dlh...@centurylink.net ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

RE: WE 9.2 and Factory Settings
Hi Guys: This can be handled by having the root set file and not allowing a user to modify it directly. A user could override or extend it in another file but the root content always remains the same. When an update comes in it replaces the root file but if the design is good anything in the user file will remain intact. This is accomplished via what Microsoft calls partial classes for working in some DataBase projects using strongly typed data sets. To change a setting in the root file you would override that setting in your partial file and when WindowEyes engine fires up it loads both into one file that it uses during the runtime environment. The only requirements are that any changes to the root file like brand new settings or deprecated settings are handled in the users file but that is still allot easier than ReCreating the file by modifying the AI2 version from scratch and if you don't like your user file rename or delete it and the factory settings in the AI2 version are loaded and used as usual. You could even have several versions of your user files each handling a single feature if you wanted to go that route or one for particular operating systems or hardware configurations. This may be able to be done now, don't know since I havent looked into it, but it could be done for sure if AI2 implemented it. Perhaps it could even be scripted. If the root set file variables and names don't change often this would be a way to maintain the custom user settings without limiting set file updates. The other option would be to allow the user to pick which set files to use and when a root file is updated that file might change but the user file would be intact and the one used at runtime, perhaps that is how it now works. But this is a good question and one that has been addressed for many years as distributed programs and data bases have been the norm to avoid stepping on allowed user changes to configuration or settings files.There may be others but I am aware of and used both of the above in other projects and platforms.

I think that's a good suggestion (to automatically at least notify you that a .set file is out of date, if not allow you to have it automatically updated). The reason it isn't just done is that someone might have spent a lot of time modifying the settings (say for Word), so that very specific items are read, and others aren't. Maybe they defined a lot of hotkeys as having a program scope, then changed them to be something else so they don't conflict with something in Word. If so, all of this is lost when the later .set file is updated (replaced) on top of the out of date one; not to mention the issue of defined graphics, colors, exceptions, etc. They all could be lost, and people might not be happy.

RE: Windows 10 just keeps getting better!
If you want it go to the Microsoft and download the media creator an then from their you can go about it. but be warned ccreate a back up of your windows 8.1 recovery just to be on the safe side and irecommend youget a flash drive probably about 16 or 32GB as they are fairly cheap at any store. but if I wer you I would wait till the end of the year so at least it will receive a service pack to windows 10.i would much rather install windows 10 after the service pack at the end of the year, and not have to worry about any issues with access tech product from Window eyes to Kurzweil to other things like that. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+gmelconian619=gmail@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Christopher-Mark Gilland via Talk Sent: Sunday, August 2, 2015 11:38 PM To: Chris challswor...@icloud.com; Window-Eyes Discussion List talk@lists.window-eyes.com Subject: Re: Windows 10 just keeps getting better!

Re: Screen Reader History
Hi! Yes, memory lane. Remember those nasty punch cards? You certainly hoped that no one tripped you up, or you spilled soda on them, for that nasty picking up the cards and sorting them out...boy those were the days. I had used basic, self taught for work and re-wrote a Cornel University experts software he had written for the NCR production line. It did little, so I did it. I wrote all 3 points, Data Entry, Data processing, and Data printing of the charts. All were for quality control all through the production line for all printers and terminals produced at the Ithaca plant... Remember, cassette tapes were used back then for data processing, along with 10 inch disks, that had only about 2K of memory/space on them. All the data entered by the secretary was processed one at a time and by noon the data was sorted and processed. I used the 2K disks and limited memory to do al this stuff... Talk about the stone age, you certainly learned to use limited space for everything, for you had no choice. But it worked, in fact, was all done 6 months before I went blind, a car accident, and it was my perfect transition over to a new job at the same company; I was there resident expert and saved the company, so I was told. Then, after loosing the eye sight I was given a Braille machine, which was like having a file cabinet next to you. It was made out of Oak wood, for the printing punches had to be kept quiet and strong enough to be kept from bouncing around, thus the solid wood cabinet was used and a tray under it for the perforated Braille paper that came up through a slot as the tractor pulled it up. Yes, TriFormations produced that Brailler... The good old days, or Stone Age as most people would say now. You know, like the slide rule, our hand held computer back in prehistoric times...

Around 1983 or 84 i started taking some BASIC programming language classes at my local Radio Shack.they had several Model 4's that ran Trsdos and CPM. the instructor had rigged up the systems to speak. it was quite crude and was not a Screen Reader at all. No way to repeat anything. but it was a start, I knew right there and then, I wanted a Computer. I begged, borrowed and stole enough to finally get one of those Model 4 systems. Bought some actual Screen Reader for about $300 and I wa son my way. Loved playing Zork, and many other Infocomm games. I was in a Relationship that went bad. The woman gave me back my engagement ring, and I traded it to a guy that had several IBM XT machines. And once I had my first MS Dos system, there was no looking back.This may have been around 1986 or 87.I am so glad that woman broke up with me! Because she did, I had a Career in Computers. Too funny. Bought a screen reader out of Ohio, think it was called Enhanced PC. then bought the one done by Arctic. finally came on to Vocal Eyes around 1991 or 92. When Windows 3.1 came along, I did purchase some windows Screen Reader out of Canada. It sucked, but I needed it for work. i bought the Window eyes program when it came along. And it was a bit limited, but it worked well enough for me to keep my job. Been with Window eyes to this day. have yet to buy JAWS, although I've helped others who have it. thanks for the walk down memory lane. edline!

Hi paulette. If you're familiar with Apple devices, Cortana is like Siri. You can ask it different questions, and it will either answer them with its female voice, which sounds quite good, or it will open a web page in your default browser so you can read the information. One thing you can ask Cortana is Tell me a joke. Her humor is right up my alley. You can ask the time, temperature, weather, and many other things. Some of these are just for fun, but some of what Cortana can do is pretty impressive. To activate Cortana in Windows 10, hit the WINDOWS key to activate the start menu, then TAB once to get to the microphone button. Hit SPACE on it, and you should hear a tone from Cortana, indicating you can speak to her. Another tone will sound to indicate the information is being processed, and you will either get an audio answer from her, or a web site will open. If you don't see a microphone button, then it means you have to set up Cortana. I called up Microsoft accessibility to do this, so I don't know what all is needed to be done. Contrary to what the consultant told me at Microsoft, you don't need a logon password to get it to work. You do, however, need a Microsoft account, and if you have an Outlook.com account you're good to go. One thing I almost forgot. You can have Cortana automaticly activate when you say Hey Cortana. I personally don't use this, because anything in the vicinity of the microphone can activate it. That's about all I can think of to mention. Hope this is useful. Have a great day, and don't work too hard.

RE: I don't have to sign into Windows 10 to use Cortana, thanks Chris.
Vince. Cortana is a feature in Windows 10 similar to the voice assistant called Seri used on Apple devices such as I-phones. You will need a headset microphone, or if you have a laptop with a built-in hands free microphone, you would be able to use Cortana. As an example, you could ask Cortana what the weather conditions are in your area. Or, as some list members have stated, Cortana can tell jokes. Having said all of this, I am still waiting for my upgrade notification from Microsoft, so I don't yet have Cortana, smile. If I misspelled the Apple I-phone voice assistant's name, I certainly didn't mean to.

The upload will be by the end of the day, but review takes a day, so probably you will not see it until Tuesday. The new feature of Breaking News is the ability to set each web page on the Main Tree view settings list with a search phrase and the number of lines after finding that phrase and it all gets read. Also, you can block off a section of a page by copying an end phrase and inserting it as the End Block Search Phrase inside the Tree View Item list and checking the Block Search checkbox. Now, if you do not find the first search phrase, or do not check the Block Search check box, it will use the End Block phrase as a second search item, just in case you do not find the first search phrase. In other words you will have 3 different items to search for when downloading a page to read. Where the third item is a heading 1 tag marker. Also, I have checked for errors and eliminated some errors which pop-up when any of your dialogs are not displayed any more, so there should be less errors cropping up in this version if you escape from a dialog or it disappears. Remember, this Breaking News does save files by using the Control-S key combination and you can do a path search where to save the file as well. Today I will be working on a menu for the text read of the web page to give more options than hotkeys. So tonight it will be uploaded for review. Bruce Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 8:31 PM Subject: Breaking News App Hi Everyone, By the end of this weekend I will have an update for my Breaking News App. It will be version 3.1 when ready for upload. I have fixed the HTML off-line page and inserted the full link path that web pages use only as a reference. It works as far as I can tell now, but have not tested it on all web sites. So the link on the HTML page will in fact work and not say Page Not Found. The HTML page almost duplicates the reading of a web page but does strip out some stuff, such as all Java Script and such to speed up the loading and reading. It does preserve the text on the page. The second addition will be the search phrase, at the moment it reads only the line on and will add the next line for all. The font size heading search, like H1 to H5 the next line is read since I have placed the text version of the tag on a line of it's own. In addition I will also allow you to add how many lines you want to read after the search phrase line, for that will be needed for a block read, I will also add it as a manual input to allow you based on the page you have saved can be independent of any other web page; since all searches are unique. I will also add the menu for the editbox since I have no menu, thus not allowing you to make selections, such as reading an off-line HTML version of the file. At the moment all options are hotkeys only when reading a text version of a web page. I hope to achieve the ability to do almost everything that is on a web page that is possible, including running programs. But at the moment I am doing this when I am not outside rebuilding my house; yes, I am totally sightless in case someone asks. I do have an update on the Sea Battle game with some more added sounds, including a missile launch, but that to has not been uploaded yet and it will be version 1.1 for the Sea Battle game when uploaded. I am taking a break and will spend more time on the computer.

Re: I don't have to sign into Windows 10 to use Cortana, thanks Chris.
It's actually spelled S I R I, but yeah from what I hear Cortana is basically the same sort of idea.

Vince. Cortana is a feature in Windows 10 similar to the voice assistant called Seri used on Apple devices such as I-phones. You will need a headset microphone, or if you have a laptop with a built-in hands free microphone, you would be able to use Cortana. As an example, you could ask Cortana what the weather conditions are in your area. Or, as some list members have stated, Cortana can tell jokes. Having said all of this, I am still waiting for my upgrade notification from Microsoft, so I don't yet have Cortana, smile. If I misspelled the Apple I-phone voice assistant's name, I certainly didn't mean to.

Re: Screen Reader History
Yes, I remember punch cards. I did RPG and COBOL, and I remember the flow charts and everything. You had to write the stuff up in braille, and then make the punch cards, then run the punch cards and print it out. I used to be able to read the punch cards. I know there were those key punch things that looked like electric typewriters, but does anybody ever remember those manual keypunches? They had I think something like twelve keys on them, so you had to press the right combinations in order to make the letter you wanted to write. Like writing braille, sort-of.

Remember those nasty punch cards? You certainly hoped that no one tripped you up, or you spilled soda on them, for that nasty picking up the cards and sorting them out...boy those were the days. I had used basic, self taught for work and re-wrote a Cornel University experts software he had written for the NCR production line. It did little, so I did it. I wrote all 3 points, Data Entry, Data processing, and Data printing of the charts. All were for quality control all through the production line for all printers and terminals produced at the Ithaca plant... Remember, cassette tapes were used back then for data processing, along with 10 inch disks, that had only about 2K of memory/space on them. All the data entered by the secretary was processed one at a time and by noon the data was sorted and processed. I used the 2K disks and limited memory to do al this stuff... Talk about the stone age, you certainly learned to use limited space for everything, for you had no choice. But it worked, in fact, was all done 6 months before I went blind, a car accident, and it was my perfect transition over to a new job at the same company; I was there resident expert and saved the company, so I was told. Then, after loosing the eye sight I was given a Braille machine, which was like having a file cabinet next to you. It was made out of Oak wood, for the printing punches had to be kept quiet and strong enough to be kept from bouncing around, thus the solid wood cabinet was used and a tray under it for the perforated Braille paper that came up through a slot as the tractor pulled it up. Yes, TriFormations produced that Brailler... The good old days, or Stone Age as most people would say now. You know, like the slide rule, our hand held computer back in prehistoric times...

RE: does eloquence come with wineyes for office
Great idea Keith, thanks. I want to point out to any current owner of a paid version of 9.1, that you can get a paid version of 9.2 for $50, which is virtually the same price as just buying Eloquence, and that way you'd have both Eloquence and support from AI Squared (and one of the high quality synthesizers as well). It's a much better idea I think than paying for Eloquence if you already own 9.1.

Also you get e spak .thee are the two free ones. If you want eloquence it will cost you $39. If you have a copy of Kurzweil, then you can rrun the speech work version of eloquence and from my pint of view that's a much better then any eloquence out there. Also ther isa sapi 5 version by code factory as well. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+gmelconian619=gmail@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Butch K via Talk Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 4:41 PM To: talk@lists.window-eyes.com Subject: does eloquence come with wineyes for office Hello, does the eloquence synthesizer come free with wineyes for office, or do you have to buy eloquence separatly? thanks.

Re: you will upgrade!!lol
Hi, Everytime since I can remember anyway when a new version of windows comes out there's a lot of hype either way. I got my first pc in 95 and of course it had win 95 on it. I had not used win 3.1. I heard all the guys that had been using 3.1 complaining about 95 and I couldn't figure out why because 95 just blew 3.1 away. People just don't ;like change I guess, but Window eyes, windows, and so much other stuff on the net and job field is so much more accessible than back in those days of dos and win 3.1 and the such.. -Original Message- From: Jim via Talk Sent: Monday, August 3, 2015 1:45 PM To: Chris ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: you will upgrade!!lol Hi there!

Windows 10 ready notification SCAM article from Kim Komando
There's a very serious ransomware scam targeting Windows users trying to upgrade to Windows 10. If you click the link in this email, it will download a virus that locks your computer and holds it hostage until you pay up. This one is particularly dangerous because it's so timely. Right now you might be waiting for your upgrade to Windows 10 as Microsoft gradually rolls out the new version. It's easy to imagine how somebody could fall for this scam if they're not paying attention. Remember, Microsoft is NOT emailing Windows 10 upgrades. But on top of that, there are some other red flags in the email. First, the IP address of the sender is actually in Thailand, not the US. Second, there will probably be some parsing problems with the email text. Third, it tries to trick you by telling you it was scanned for virus MailScanner. This is a classic trick to make you think the email is safe. It's all part of the disguise. Your best insurance against this sort of scam, especially if you're at risk of someone less informed installing the ransomware on your machine, is to ensure that you back up all of your data and store it offline. We at Komando.com never recommend paying the ransom to the hackers. This tricky email appears as if it's from Microsoft. It even uses the address upd...@microsoft.com, and the body of the email encourages you to download an attached .zip file to install Windows 10. Do NOT download and install this file. Microsoft is not emailing customers with the Windows 10 upgrade. That should be your very first clue. Your current Windows operating system will notify you when your upgrade is available. There will be a notification in your toolbar. You won't get any email. If you do make the mistake of downloading and installing the ransomware, all your files and documents will be locked by unbreakable encryption. You'll have to pay the hackers if you want them back.
