RE: Windows 10 start menu
another useful tool is AutoHotKey. This will allow you to make short cut keys all over the place. Thus allowing you to start programs quickly. You can also turn your scripts in to executable files if you should want to. A good reason for this is as follows. I created a short cut script to run on a computer. I don't need the program on this system. I just put the .exe file on the system told it to run at start up and it was good to go. Another nice tool is classic shell. It allows you to use the classic start menu interface. This means you don't have to bother with the new start menu if you don't want to. In windows 8 and 8.1 I had a tool that works to remove the silly ribbon in windows explorer and go back to the simple menu system. Why Microsoft thought the ribbon was a good idea I don't know. How they decided where they were going to put things is lost on me. Any way hope that helps. I will not say I know everything there is to know either but I will say this is a wonderful operating system. Yes it is a work in progress but I am very happy with it so far and I expect to get better. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Lloyd Rasmussen via Talk Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2016 4:30 AM To: Window-Eyes Discussion ListSubject: Re: Windows 10 start menu In Windows 7 or 10, I place a few frequently-used programs on the taskbar. This can be done by finding the program by means of a search or locating it within the start menu, then using the Applications key, also known as the context menu key, to the left of the right-hand control key, or with shift-F10, and using the context menu that appears to select "pin to taskbar." Once a program has been pinned to the taskbar, you can get to the taskbar with Windows-T, then use left or right arrow keys to select that program, then the Applications key again to start the program from a recently used file or song or website. You can also use the taskbar to start a program (with no parameters) by pressing the Windows key with a number from 1 to 0, which represents the position of the program along the taskbar. I can't say that I have Windows 10 all figured out, but with tricks like these you can get to a lot of functionality very quickly.

If you don't want your desktop to be cluttered, you can also create a folder there and give it a name that will tell you it is programs from the start menu. You can also search for the program you are looking for in the start menu in the search area by typing the first few letters, and arrow down, and when you hear the one you want, just hit enter, and should open.

As for "selected/unselected", I understand that as you arrow up and down, although you can hear items in the menu being spoken, they are not automatically selected as it would have been before. You need to press enter on an item to select it and only then do you have choices to tab along. So select an item in the menu, press enter, and now as you press tab, you will see the sub-items of the item you have selected. I am still very shaky in the start menu and would appreciate some tips as well.

Hello, excellent job. I am very pleased with the new read to end feature. It works like a dream. I am currently using the office offer, because I need to come up with the funds for my software maintenance agreement. I hope to do that soon, because Window-Eyes 9.3 is an excellent product, and I'm very pleased with the new features. Now we need touch functionality.

RE: 32 or 64 bit, that is the question
My thoughts on this are mainly directed buy the amount of ram on your system. If you have 4 gb of ram or less go with x86. If you have more then 4gb of ram then you will want to go with x64. Yes x86 will at some point be fazed out. This will probably not happen soon how-ever. There are some advantages to x64 but your system will probably not be able to take advantage of them if it is an older system.

It seems that the system must be upgraded to W 10 32 bit first, activated and then a clean install of W 10 64 bit can be undertaken if desired. I think, although not confirmed, the update from W 10 32 bit to W 10 64 bit is also free. So, my questions are: Is 64 bit the comeing standard and so sooner or later 32 bit will be phased out? i.e. Is it better to bite the bullet now rather than be tforced into a change in the future? Also, my system would probably benefit from a clean install regardless of the version of W 10. Or, is there no real advantage in going up to 64 bit at present? I know my system and printer will handle 64 bit and thankfully there is no difference in versions of WE. That is unlike the opposition of course. Your thoughts please.

RE: Introducing Virtual View 5.0
Hi, First I can confirm that using the key describer with print screen does infact speak the message print screen. Second I can confirm that some keyboard don't send the correct code for this key. If this is happening of course you would not expect window-eyes to intercept and read this key. Third the input help command for nvda is the same command as the key describer. Insert 1. Finally I am going to recommend that the alt+printScreen keyboard command be added to the keyboard maniger of virtual view so the user can change it. I am also going to recommend that this dialog be added to the app menu as well. Hth -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of David via Talk Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2015 9:31 AM To: Aaron Smith; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Introducing Virtual View 5.0 Aaron, and the rest. I have been using numerous keyboards up through the years, and as you Aaron suggests, the PrintScreen usually is just right of F12, and on a standard keyboard, that would make it the farmost left of the 3 keys above the 6-pack. Yet, here is another issue. On the laptop I have at the moment, a Dell, the 6-pack is located in the far upper right corner of the keyboard. That is, the lower-left key, the Del-key of the 6-pack, is immediately to the right of F12. There is no 3 keys above this 6-pack. Neither any other place on the keyboard. Some suggested it could be where the App-key used to be, but nope, there we only have the Right-Control key. So my guess is that it is located under one of the other keys, likely in a combo with the FN-key. Now moving on with my issue, I normally don't use the laptop's keyboard much. Tend to use a wireless keyboard. It is more of a standard design.And on this one, sure I have the 3 keys next to the F12. I now have had it confirmed that the left of the three, indeed is the PrintScreen-key. Thing is, that when I open the Keyboard-describer - like you Aaron suggested - I can press this key a million times, and it is not announced. Question 1 then, is PrintScreen supposed to be spoken under the keyboard describer, and can others confirm that it so happen? I further cannot get this key to do anything, in connection with the Virtual View app, even if I press the Alt-PrintScreen inside a PDF file. Question 2, what could be the case with the PrintScreen? Are all PrintScreen-keys sending the same keycode, or are we once again into some keyboards not producing the right key-command, like with some numeric keypads on the market? I am running a standard American version of Win7 Pro. The only thing noticeable about the PrintScreen on my wireless keyboard, is that it reads "PrintScreen" and underneath "Sys RQ". Don't know if that is the standard label on a keyboard, as I do not have any reference keyboard at hand. Further, running under WE8.4. Although slightly off-topic, does anyone happen to know how to open the keyboard-describer in NVDA? I then could check and see if NVDA recognizes my PrintScreen key. Just trying to track down why it won't have any impact on my Virtual View. Unless something is totally wrong on my system, maybe others are in the risk of experiencing similar issues, and hence it would be useful for us to know. Of course, one small tip for a solution that could be more taylored to any keyboard on the market, is if you Aaron could have provided a hotkey in the app, which simulated the Alt-PrintScreen. I know, this is not the real good solution, but since I here see my laptop having the embedded PrintScreen somehow hid, and likely in with an odd key-combo, and my Wireless keyboard's PrintScreen does not produce the wanted result - it might be worth considering. My next guess is, that the Alt-PrintScreen may happen to be a frequently used combo, for many of the users. If not all keyboards on the market would happen to have a PrintScreen - and yet more have it so wrongly dug into some odd location - it only justifies the normal rule, and would strongly back the idea of an app-specific "simulation" hotkey.

Just install classic shell. This will give you more control over your start menu. This includes where the search box is. For example I am running windows 10. I am using classic shell. The search box is focused if I press tab from the start menu. This means I see all of my menu options and the search box is out of my way unless I want it buy tabbing over to it.

In that case, what I would suggest should happen is to have a layout that is built into Window-Eyes that JFW users can use to transition. Also I would suggest that after installation, one of the questions would be to ask a user whether he or she is familiar with JAWS and wants to adapt Window-Eyes for a seenless transition. That could help a lot of people especially as there are those out there who have no idea that Window-Eyes can be adapted to a jfw or NVDA layout or whatever.

RE: stability versus new browse mode
Hi, Well I find making auto hot key scripts for starting programs much more reliable than using the windows short cut key system. Another advantage is you can use key combos that are not supported by the typical windows short cut key system. For example: I have Window-Eyes starting with the short cut of windows+alt+w. Another advantage is I can take this short cut key script and run it on any computer and the short cut key script will work.

RE: stability versus new browse mode
Because you don't have to shut down window-eyes to restart with the startup command what ever you define it as. You can also just use the run dialog and type wineyes.exe and press enter.

RE: stability versus new browse mode
What browser is being used hear. I am not able to reproduce this problem using window eyes for office at the moment 9.2 with windows 10 and internet explorer 11. It works just fine. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Butch K via Talk Sent: Monday, September 14, 2015 6:33 AM To: talk@lists.window-eyes.com Subject: stability versus new browse mode Hello, I had been using a windows 7 laptop running wineyes 7.5, and it was fairly stable. When I finally upgraded to wineyes 9.1, the new browse mode could not perform the same tasks as the earlier version of wineyes. It kept freezing up while I was on the web doing the same tasks as I had done while running wineyes 7.5. Pressing control, alt, W did nothing. I had to do a cold boot everytime. After using 9.1 for a couple of weeks, I had to uninstall it and go back to an earlier version. This time I installed 8.4, and it works as well as when I was running wineyes 7.5. So, to get the benefits of the new browse mode, I would have to sacrifice stability. For me, wineyes 9 was a waste of money. I can't even use it. I mean what good is a silent screen reader. I have been using wineyes since the 1990's, and I have never been this disappointed. The new browse mode is so dysfunctional that it should be in beta.

RE: A different way to ask about the value of the Edge browser for us Window-Eyes users.
Well not having played a lot with edge as of yet I can not really address this question as it was pozed. How-ever I will try to explain some things based on my understanding. First edge is accessible. There are some problems with it but these problems are being sorted out. Note NVDA already has expairamental support for the edge browser. I am sure that the window-eyes team also has such support for the edge browser in house. It should be noted here that the edge system is also used in universal app support and this is very important to blind people who want to use these apps even if you don't use edge. Remember also this operating system was put out less then a month ago. The issues and problems are being addressed. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Minor via Talk Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 12:11 PM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' talk@lists.window-eyes.com Subject: A different way to ask about the value of the Edge browser for us Window-Eyes users. Hi. Before I go into my question, I agree with those that think Microsoft should have included the ability for screen readers to use Edge. If the code is there, screen reader manufacturers are willing to use it. Now, having said that, I have a different view of the Edge browser. What can it do for us blind users that Internet Explorer can't? The only thing I've heard of is you can write or type on a web page, but I don't know why this is useful. It obviously is, or Microsoft wouldn't have made it part of Edge. Just curious.

I have no trouble in wird setting up the described responses with the Home and End cursoring keys. In word, the Cursoring key adjustments are set up so that when I press the home key on any line in the document, I hear the first letter on that line, and when I press the End key, I likewise hear the last character of the current line. In Notepad, however, the Home key works in that same manner, but pressing the End key yields no sound at all, and that's regardless of the selected First Action setting, which is the #3 of the 20 or so possible selections, and which matches the setting in Word. The Second Action response is also set to Undefined. The cursoring key settings are all global. Even if I try setting the first action setting for the End key to say line, I still hear nothing. Any good ideas out there about what I might have done? I'd like to make better use of Notepad, because Word is so rich in disruptable settings that can force you to spend hours tracking down problems with formatting.

RE: Windows 10
At some point you will get a windows update that will allow you to get windows 10 when it becomes available. If you want to update just reserve your copy. The update that allows you to check if your system is compatible and reserve your update will also allow you to install it when it becomes available or pick a time that is convenient for you to install it. I my self am going to do it as soon as it become available I can hardly wait. I am going to love the new universal aps support the ability to use android apps on it if this is accessible and the new start screen. I also am hoping that the voice assistant is accessible soon and of course I hope window-eyes will support touch with it. I also hope that nls will make its android app available on windows. Also Iphone apps can be ported to windows as well. This is exciting stuff. I am also going to look in to windows 10 mobile on the phone side as well.

RE: Monitor required
This is correct. Although with some video cards you might get a warning beep if no monitor is pluged in to the port. On a very few computers I have seen if no monitor is connected it may not boot. If this is the case someone will need to go in to the bios and fix this. As I said I have not seen this on very many boxes.

I am sorry to here this. The fact is windows 10 when it comes out will allow us to do so much more with our computers. It is a free update that will allow you to use universal apps work with apps that we never had on the pc. Have a voice assistant on the pc and so on. Windows 10 is also going to be more stable and faster and is very much worth upgrading to.

RE: Seeking Your Input
Well in spartom prodject fire fox plug-ins will work. I think the most important things for window-eyes is to support that web browser as soon as it become a stationary target. Second window-eyes is the only screen reader at the moment that does not support touch. Window-eyes needs to support touch. All these other ideas are nice and fine but with out touch support window-eyes is behind everyone else. I am sure that the issue is being studied and when we finely get touch support it will be better then the rest. Finely window-eyes really needs to do a better job hooking the keyboard. For example in windows explorer command for shift insert can not be defined because if you issue these commands the paste command is performed instead. In outlook the new message command is performed instead of the shift insert command. Capslock should be its own prefix verces just being another insert key. Numpad insert and the insert key should be treated as separate keys as should left windows and right windows. 3rd party tools. Screen ocr should be added as a add-on app that gets installed with window-eyes. Support for skype really needs improvement. I should be able to use skype in what ever interface. Keys for accessing the most important parts of the skype window should be added. In windows explorer keyboard commands to read headers should be added. In the brows enhanced app place markers should work as expected. The ability to read the name of the document loaded should be added as well as reading the line of text the browser is on should be added. And example Please log in document. National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped Downloadable Books and Magazines I have window-eyes set to read nothing because I don't want the whole page read as a page loads. I don't want the first 24 lines. I just want to know what page I am on and the line of text I am on. As it stands now I get no information at all. Minor window-eyes changes. Smart message box reading. I don't want a whole message box read. I also most of the time want to hear more information then just the name of the dialog and the focus button. I want the name the text relating to the message and the focused button. For example. Delete Multiple Items Are you sure you want to permanently delete these 11 items? Yes button. The ability to read heading level after name would save a whole bunch of time. the ability to read controls as you can in braille feeld name classe type class state feeld data. Make the buttons also see that the name of the button is not read as data but name. this is correct verces reading it as data. Yes for example is not data you can't change it it is the name of the object not its data. Correct the reading of tab controls. When you press the control tab key the name of the tab that is active should be read then the name of the object that has focus should be read. At the moment when using control tab you don't know what tab you have moved to. You can see an example of this in the sounds window in the control panel. An app to allow quick access to tabs. For example if you need tab 3 you could press control 3 to access the 3rd tab in the page tab list. The f8 command working in brows mode is cool but the ability to use normal windows commands for copying text would be nice. Thanks for reading. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Andre via Talk Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 5:46 PM To: 'Ray Campbell'; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: RE: Seeking Your Input Hi Jeremy, I echo Ray's statements below. I'll add one more web site or component and that's instant teleseminar, and go to webinar. So much is done these days using these tools, and it's just not accessible as far as the interaction with the host. So we can't enter questions to ask, or interact via chat features, or read the info the host posts such as a simple web link. The ocr feature is definitely necessary for captcha in ie, and other clickable images. Webvisum is only for firefox and there needs to be a reliable ocr feature for IE and FF that's not dependent on a third party tool. Any time our work productivity depends on a third party rather than remaining mostly in our own control, that hampers our own work performance. I'd like notification when a web page has been updated. So based on in page links or some part of a form that requires user input, after that data has been entered, I'd like verbal notification of what has changed on that web page.

RE: Seeking Your Input
I think this would be a good feature. I question if it should be a part of window-eyes it self. An external app to solve these and another or the same to perform ocr. This way when the app needs updating it could be updated from the apps page when you start the program. That is one of the wonderful things about window-eyes apps you can add features with out having to code it directly in to the program. Such an app will probably need regular updating and the window-eyes update cycle is not robust enough to acomadate such an app. Just like if you wanted a research tool having it as an external app would be better. lets take a look at how other screen readers handel this. Many of the updates have to do with keeping the tools working as they should. If this was done as an app it could be updated with out having to update the whole program. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of David Goldfield via Talk Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2015 12:17 PM To: Tom Fairhurst; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Seeking Your Input I actually think that a built-in captcha decoder is a terrific idea.

Yesterday twice, out of being on the computer most of the day, I heard the mouse voice speak what I had either tabbed to or arrowed over - I forget if the normal voice spoke the same text after and was waiting for it to happen again to detail the problem but it has not happened again yet. I don't remember if I was in a context menu, on the Desktop or in Internet Explorer but for sure the mouse is reading things behind the scenes without any user interaction as Jim had mentioned and why I tried turning the mouse voice off. As I told Chris I have the track mouse with cursor csetting turned off in the WE Control Panel dialog. Just a heads up that WE will try to speak things without any user interaction requesting speech via what seems to be mouse movement behind the scenes and is required, likely, for WE to handle some things like that situation with the Context Menu not reading all the entries unles I arrowed, cycled through it a few times. So, with the mouse voice on I get one set of phantom speech and perhaps focus problems and with the mouse voice off I get a diferent set of problems and focus problems - considering not being able to find to click on a context menu item a focus problem which it actually may not be but then if you cant read it you cant focus it. I did find the missing menu items even with the mouse voice turned off, by cycling through what sounded like a changing set of MenuItems a couple of times and they were spoken by the correct cursor voice. I wonder if that was due to turning the mouse voice feature back on or if it is a timing problem with WindowEyes code base and, or, scripts. I was in the My Computer list of available folders I think so may try to reproduce it by turning the mouse voice on and off and trying that windows feature to see if it is reproducable. What a hassle, good thing WindowEyes is pretty much free.

But, now when in some lists like the This Computer list of drives and reviewing the Context Menuu or in my own program WindowEyes will sometimes start reading a list item then stop, speech is cut off before the end of the list item with focus. Also, in the list sometimes I hear 2 items read after hitting the down arrow key instead of just one. Also, some list items are not read at all unless I ReRead the list several times - it seems they are there sometimes and not there other times. So I turned the mouse voice back on. I went into the This Computer and the Context Menu items read very well except for a phantom word graphic reading on the first item indicating again that the WindowEyes use of the mouse related to dynamic content is likely causing problems. This is not good since if I turn it off I don't get phantom speech but it seems I have even more serious problems, sigh. The real situation here seems to lie with the underlying mechanism WindowEyes is using to monitor dynamic content and execute speech. I am not sure there is anything a end user like me can do to
RE: Ripping music CD's with windows Media Player
No because basicly wave format is going to be very large. It is going to be larger then lets say even flac. The only reason to rip to wave is if you intend to work with the file before converting. For example when ripping a audio book cd. You might want to rip them then merge all the cds in to one file and then you might want to find using cue points all the chapters. Then of course you will then want to split the book in to files using the cue points just maid. Finely the split files will be converted in to what ever file format you want to use for example 64 kbps 2250khz. Other wise there is not much of a point to not use mp3 or what ever format you like. if you are looking for a good non locy format then flac will do you fine.

RE: question
Hello, if you could explain exactly what you were hoping to accomplish. We might be better able to assist you. For example, if you're attempting to reinstall factory settings you would want to go to the file menu in the window-eyes control panel and go down to the factory sets option the shortcut for this is F. This will allow you to reinstall any factory set files that you wish. If on the other hand you would like to start with a completely fresh user profile, simply delete the window-eyes folder found in your user folder, with window-eyes not running. Of course, restart window-eyes and a new folder will be created and the default scripts will be installed. If you're attempting to accomplish something else. Please do let us know.

So, outside of reading Tool Tips automatically, what else is suppose to be read automatically by WindowEyes without being a response to a keyboard action or what may be read under the Mouse or the WE Cursor automatically in response to a non mouse or WE Cursor keyboard event being requested by pressing a Numpad key (mouse cursor or WE Cursor keys)? Knowing just a little about WE Scripting WE has to be executing a speek command at the wrong time to actually speak the phantom item. Could it be WE trying to read something under the Mouse Cursor or WE Cursor or could it be some buffering problem and is there a test I can do to figure out which, or neither, of these may be behind the problem?

RE: Phantom Items Being Read
What kind of mouse pad do you have on that box? Have you checked to make sure that track mouse with focus is turned off? Does your mouse have any software that uses intelasense? It could be that the intelasense or what ever they are calling it these days is causing the mouse to move around the screen trying to focus the mouse on object the driver thinks you would have interest in. it has been years sense I ran in to that little problem, but I would think even to day that it would cause the same kind of issues. What other programs do you have loaded at start up? Some times tsr programs can cause windows to pop up at times that will cause window-eyes to read things that as far as you can tell are not there. For example the getright download manager will pop up a window called getright moniter. At times when you are done with a task and think you should go to the desktop this invisible window has activation and focus. Another example is the hp support tool. It pop ups and because it doesn't work with UIA it crashes. It might be time to give that system a refresh and start from scratch. It can be done with speech and you will just need to reinstall your desktop software again. I of course am just guessing here. I can not reproduce your problem on windows 8.1 try as I might.

I don't see any of these problems on my windows 8.1 computers. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Rick Thomas via Talk Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2015 2:47 AM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: WE Problem Analysis Hi WE Users: After using WE for some time now with MS Windows 8.1 I have noticed a pattern to some problems. In my in-house Microsoft Visual Studio Developed project WE has trouble holding or finding focus on a Master Detail form with a MenuBar. When I open the menu bar and right arrow WE might read File View File View File View Edit File View file view edit sorts etc... When I try to down arrow through the Menu Items in one of the menus we may start reading the first few menu items then lock up until I tab or alt tab to change focus to another control and back again. Sometimes reading through the ListBox using the arrow keys WE just locks up. Sometimes I might hear the word graphic spoken before it locks up, most times not. Always, when it works, When I LogOn to my computer after letting it go into sleep mode WE stutters on the Password like Sta star sta star sta star sta star etc as I type each letter. Also, after logging on this way my Outlook messages wont read and the last time even Internet Explorer wouldnt read, just ping ping trying to read using the arrow keys in both cases - web problem for WE? Sometimes I hear things spoken that are not in a focused object I am trying to either alt-tab to or otherwise navigate to. Now, all this speaks of WE trying to read more than it should, perhaps reading the entire dom for each keypress? I dont know but this seems to be hinting at some type of problem related to WE trying to find the correct item to hold focus and thus speak. None of these problems are exhibited by JAWS - I have tested them out with the alternate reader to ensure it was not a Microsoft problem. Note that my past experience, postings, on Visual Studio problems fall into this focus problem category as well and that the Visual Studio problems are also not present in JAWS or, for that matter, in a couple of other screen readers I usually have to fall back on. So, these problems may be a result of trying to read the entire dom or WE getting lost in the middle of trying to position itself and allowing focus to get mixed up during this process somehow. While this all is indeed problematic the reason for this posting is to help identify, perhaps, the source(s) of the many problems WindowEyes is having lately so dont take it personally guys but see if you can add to the analysis. I will post to the GW Scripting List since some of those folks are quite good when it comes to how WE does things.

RE: Trouble with MLB.com
Yes I did, as soon as I detected the problem. I generally listen to most of my games archived. I also have send feedback about the fast-forward and rewind problems several times for several years with no results. As I said previously, it is not a major problem for me, because I generally download the archives, and listen to them with my favorite media player. actually for these files,I tend to use gold wave. a note about using replay media capture with the standard media Center site. The replay media capture program will download from this site. However, it takes a considerable amount of time for it to do so. You will also find naming the files with the appropriate names a little problematic. with the accessible site, you can simply go to the now listening section and copy the information under that Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Barbara Sheinbein via Talk Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 5:46 AM To: 'Jesse'; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: RE: Trouble with MLB.com I am not aware of a way to use the rewind or fast forward in an archive game.

In an archive game, unlike the regular mediacenter, you can't rewind or fastforward: if so, its a visual slider wherein with the main mediacenter, there are links to fastforward, rewind, etc. In the accessible site, simply pause, increase or decrease volume, that's it.

RE: Breaking! Microsoft brings Android, iOS apps to Windows 10
Actually according to what I was told is that if Microsoft expozes the wigits or objects if you like that term better to UIA this new system could be quite accessible with a screen reader such as narrator or window-eyes. This framework is not just going in to windows mobile but will also be going in to windows pro as well. After all, all aps that will run on windows mobile will run on windows 10 pro. This means like I said if the wigits were exposed to UIA no modification's to the apps themselves would be needed. Of course they would need to make sure that the app worked with voice over or talk back in order to be accessible. This is according to what another screen reader maker told me. This is not speculation on my part. Was playing with narrator for windows 8.1 on my pc not to long ago and it is about what you would exspect from lets say voice over. A little to chatty from the keyboard, but I could see myself working with it on a phone device.

RE: Screen Reader compatible Keyboards. Was: Re: speaking of Dell computers...
No actually the num-pad five sends a completely different code then number 5 on the intermedia pad. This is how programs like winamp know if you have issued a number 5 on the num-pad or not. That being said keyboard codes are keyboard codes and they don't change from device to device. They don't even change from operating system to operating system. Wether or not the operating system supports the codes is the question. For example IOS does not support the codes from the numpad and so they are completely ignored. There is no need for any list or anything like that. If you are missing keys redefining another key that you are not using is quite simple and a good salution to the problem. Another salution to the problem in the case of the num-lock is a utility that will turn it on or off. This utility could be placed in the startup section of your operating system and would set the state of num-lock. This quite frankly is much to do about nothing. It has been a problem that has been with us for years as I have already outlined and the work arounds for it are well know and understood.

Was: Re: speaking of Dell computers... Hi David and everyone, While I certainly appreciate reading this thread, and clearly there is a lot of energy on this matter of keyboards and their use with screen readers, I would like to say that there is no need for any serious concern about losing the functionality of the Numpad and therefore the functionality of Window-Eyes. This is because any function currently assigned to the Numpad keys can be assigned to other key combinations in the WE control panel. Also, regarding keyboards which happen to include a Numpad and yet do not include a NumLock key, I would guess that if the manufacturer was simply providing the Numpad to make numeric input easier, that manufacturer probably didn't make those keys unique in the codes they pass on to Windows when pressed. In other words, taking the number 5 on the Numpad as an example, my guess is that it would send the same key code to Windows as woudd be sent to Windows by pressing the number 5 on the Qwerty area of the keyboard; therefore, there would be no uniqueness about the Numpad numbers, and also there would be no alternate functions on the Numpad number keys, that is, that uniqueness we're used to when we turn NumLock off. In short, we will need to get used to the idea that we are going to have to use whatever keys are available to get our screen reader tasks completed, and perhaps we'll have to use more key combinations like Control-Shift-T, which we're all used to anyway. In truth, as long as we have keyboards which work at all, we'll be able to control Window-Eyes.

Was: Re: speaking of Dell computers... Rick and the rest, This discussion, altogether reminds me the one that every now and than, has popped up around USB NumPads. Rick, how much we would love a list provided, for all keyboards on the market, and their compatibility, it will never work. I am going to deal with but a couple of reasons, some of them likely brand new to some of you. First of all, it is true, some keyboards need hardware specific drivers. Even Microsoft has a line of keyboards, which will need drivers, particularly designed for the keyboard to work fully. In some cases, the driver has a menu, or some sort of a control panel, to setup the exact behavior. For instance, my one Microsoft keyboard here, comes with a set of Quick keys, for launching your favorite net browser, your standard Email client, your desirable music player and so forth. Trouble is, the control panel provided by the driver, simply is useless with a screen reader, due to a totally graphical interface. Another Microsoft keyboard I have, is somehow doable to program, since the control panel for setting it up, is partially labelled with text on the screen.In both cases, should you decide you don't want to change the quick keys and their standard (default) behavior, you can run both these keyboards as plug-and-play. Plug them in, and enjoy the standard features, including an app-key, a numlock key, and standard behavior of the numeric keypad. My one Logitech keyboard, does not have a right-hand windows key, but does have an application key. My one Dell laptop has no app-key, no right windows key, but has an FN-key. The wireless keyboard I am on at this instance, has an app-key, a numlock-key, but has no Ctrl-key on

RE: speaking of Dell computers...
Well I started in windows 95 with a 101 keyboard. It did not have a windows key or an application's key. in fact it was a upgrade from windows 3.1. when I finely got a 104 keyboard you can believe I used all the new keys right away. One key to perform a task verces two. And two in a rather odd finguring location. As I said before if you are missing key you can always remap other key to perform task. AutoHotKey is a very useful utility. You can use it to remap keys. You can also use it to allow you to make short cuts to start programs. For example alt+windows+w starts window-eyes on my system. I have a lot of quick short cuts. The cool thing is also you can make your short cut script in to an exe file and take it with you to what ever computer you are working with.it is also free so no need to spend any money on a keyboard.

Here's my take on it. Regardless of how good a new synth is it takes time to get used to it. I agree with Brice in that a short demo can sound good, but it really says nothing about practical every day usage. The problem is that we get tuned into a specific synth voice, especially if we've been using it for years and seldom if ever switched synths. This is what I experienced after using a DecTalk Express for 20 years and finally decided to try some of the new software synths that are unarguably much more human sounding. I like Vocalizer Expressive, although I wish GW went with Ivona, simply because I like those voices more. I have the SAPI versions but of course using SAPI is a performance hit compared to Window-Eyes directly accessing a synth via its own driver. But that's another story. My point is that when I started using Vocalizer Expressive and Ivona they were both very difficult to get used to simply because they were different and my brain was tuned into the DecTalk Express voice. Even though they sounded much better I was frustrated and constantly switching back and forth because I could run DecTalk considerably faster and never have to stop and rewind so to speak. But eventually, after being wrapped up in such a wrestling match until I was sick of it I realized that the only way to make another synth work was to stop using my old DecTalk as a crutch and force myself to stick with the new voice. I don't remember now how long it took, and it was frustrating, but eventually my brain got tuned into the new voice and it sounds fine now. And I never look back. My old DecTalk is hibernating in a closet somewhere now. So the moral of the story is that patience is indeed a virtue. We are all creatures of habit and hate change, even if that change is for the better. But of course this is no guaranty that any particular voice is going to be the one that works for you. Case in point. Many folks like Vocalizer Expressive Tom. Personally I hate it. For some inexplicable reason it's extremely annoying to me. So I think, what a shame they wasted such a good name on a useless synth. grin. Just my 22 cents worth.

tagging friends using the facebook app
Hi, Ok first I have never needed to do this before, so I had to figure it out. First go in to the facebook app. Now press the status button. You can write what ever it is you want to say in the edit box now or you can do it after you tag your friends. Any way I wrote what I wanted to say first. I mean focus is already there so you might as well. I tried it both ways as I said and it works. Now tab over to tag a friend. Press this button. Now tab to the list view and move down to the friend you want to tag. Press enter. If you have more friends to tag move down the list to the next one and press enter. Keep doing this tell you have tagged all the people in the list view you want to tag. Note window-eyes may report and probably will report it is not selected but it is. Now ehn you are done in the list tab over to save. Now press enter. Note you must press enter on the save button or you will be in a never ending loope. Spacebar on this button does not cut it for some reason. Also spacebar on the list item does not cut it here. You need to use the inter key. Then you can go over to post and it will be posted and you will see that the people you wanted to tag in the post were tagged.

If you are running windows 8 or later I must once again recommend the windows app for facebook. Everything I have tried to do works like a dream with the keyboard. It is fully accessible with window-eyes. Another thing to note is once you have posted a comment on a facebook post you should get an e-mail that will inform you that so and so has also commented on what ever status.

RE: Microsoft Defender?
Exactly it at times is also a good idea to have other software that can catch bugs as well. You don't run these in real time you run them or install them when you think you have a problem. For example spy bot search destroy will some times catch things that defender misses or mulware bites doesn't see either. On most of my boxes I have defender running in real time. it is resource lite does a good job and is free. Mulware bites is also on my boxes. It does a good job of catching stuff as described below. I also have spy bot search destroy and use it as I described above. Finely if I am sure that I have a bug I will install avg or avast and let them do there thing. Once I have solved the problem I either uninstall them or disable them. The rule of thumb here is never let more then one checker do real time checking at a time. understand that this can happen and will cause you problems if it does and make sure it doesn't. there is no reason though that you can't have more then one protection salution on your box if you want it.

No, that is not correct. MalwareBytes is designed to compliment a standard anti-virus program. It focuses primarily on the latest threats; adware, malware, spyware, trojans, rootkits, and web sites. And the free version does not run in real-time or update automatically. So it is doing nothing until you manually update it and manually run a scan. It is typically better at removing problems after they've infected your system than most anti-virus programs, which typically work best when things are trying to sneak in the back door.

RE: Microsoft Defender?
Yes at the risk of making people who love xp mad at me and I am sorry in advance. If you are running xp it is time past time to get rid of xp and update to windows 8.1. xp is no longer being supported. It is not being updated. At some point soon window-eyes will probably not work with it. Windows 8.1 can be maid to look like xp for the most part using clasec shell and old new explorer. Window-eyes works wonderful with clasec shell and old new explorer will give you the menu system back in explorer and will work wonderful with window-eyes. You will also have access to windows 8 apps such as facebook window-eyes works like a dream with this app for example this means you will not need to get apps like socialize. You will have access to windows defender as well. A much better built in speech synthesizer the ability to refresh your system with speech if need be. The list of advantages goes on but I think we get the idea. As I said I don't want to start a debate, but xp is old and really should be updated to windows 8.1 if possible. Most systems running xp will also run windows 8.1. unless it is a really old box. This means if you can update you really should.

No if you are running defender then you are running spy ware and virus protection.

You just needed to wait 5 minutes or so and then restart window bridge and it would go on working. It would be really nice if you had the option to reboot or wait a period of time. With the new window-eyes restart feature after the time elapsed window-eyes could automaticly restart. I would also like to see the window-eyes restart feature automaticly restart window-eyes if after a set time it remains u unresponsive. It would also be nice if a feture was provided that would kill the old icons from the system tray. Yes I am perfectly aware this is a windows bug with the system tray but I would like to see it worked around.

word nav while editing Microsoft outlook messages.
I was wondering while editing a Microsoft outlook message if the word nav app could be used. This would be quite useful. I see at the moment it cannot. I loaded the app while in Microsoft outlook and pressed insert+z and nothing happened. I guess this means this app will have to be updated in order for this to work. Also I think it would be a good idea to allow the inter key to be used while the context menu is opened. For example while using the spell check commands before you can press enter on one of the options in the context menu you must turn word nav off, because if you don't it informs you that you pressed an invalid key. This means you are constantly turning word nav on and off with insert+z.

RE: trying to decide if I should migrate to window-eyes 9 because I still have windows xp
I would urge all users of office 2007 and later who don't like the ribbon to check out classic menus for office. This is a ribbon add on that gives you back your classic menu interface. While I have no problem with the ribbon I must confess that I don't understand the layout meaning why things were put where they were. With classic menu for office just press alt+q twice and you will get everything you need in a vertical menu. This app is not free how-ever.

RE: which version of windows should I get
Hello, yes this is true, all Windows 7 users will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge. That being said, the idea that you should get Windows 7 just because the you think it will be easier to navigate is completely not true. As I have said on this subject. A number of times you can get programs which resolve this issue if it is a problem for you. The best program to get to resolve these navigation issues is classic Shell. This will allow you to have a windows XP style start menu or a Windows 7 style start menu, and it will allow you to take advantage of all the new features of Windows 8.1. If you get a program called old new Explorer. It will allow you to turn off the ribbon and to make a number of tweaks to the Windows Explorer that will make it look and feel like the Windows 7 Windows Explorer. Thus you will have all of the new features of Windows Explorer, and the interface you are familiar with and comfortable with. You will also be able to take advantage of Windows universal apps. One good example of this is Facebook, which is completely accessible. You will also have greater stability, greater security better built-in text-to-speech and a number of other features. The new user interface should not be a deterrent, because as I said these issues are quite easy to resolve if necessary. I hope this helps, and think you for reading. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Loy via Talk Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 8:56 AM To: t...@window-eyes.com Subject: Re: which version of windows should I get My opinion If you are use to XP, you might want to get Windows 7 if you can find it.

RE: which version of windows should I get
Actually the idea was to play on the one branding idea. One operating system to rule them all. Xbox one. One drive etc. when you consider the fact that windows 8.1 is actualy windows 6.3 the version number doesn't matter much any way.

Reason? It does not exist. Microsoft lost their abacus when they were to release the next version after Windows 8.1, and hence found it much easier to start from afresh, which means Windows 10. Smiles. Just wanted to clarify that one point. If you ever can get a Win7, I would much recommend that - over the 8-series. I had so much trouble with both Win8 and 8.1, that I parked that whole computer altogether. Admittedly, that was with an earlier version of the screen reader as well, so things seemingly have got much better as time moved on. But the 8-series do have their learning curve, and even sighted people complained enough to have Microsoft partially change their mind. It all depends on whether you want to pick up on that curve, or if you want to go with something that is more in line with what you have been used to. Besides, according to what I hear and read, the Win10 interface may partially take you one step back to the feel of Win7. Since it is going to be released in the not too far off future, maybe no need to hazzle around learning the steep curve of Win8, only to find yourself having to go back to a more familiar touch when Win10 is hitting the market. Just some thoughts. David On 2/25/2015 5:24 PM, Bud Schwab via Talk wrote: Hi Gang, I am currently using windows 7 64 bit, but my computer is about to fail on me and I am going to get a new one. I'm familiar with windows 7 64 bit but don't even know if it's available any more on a new computer. My question is, of the versions of windows available today, 8, 9, and 10, is there one of them that works best with windoweyes? I have the latest version of wineyes. Thanks for any input. Thanks.

RE: Is Control-Tab a WE Command-
Actually this is a windows command. It works in any place where tabs are found. It does in fact work with window-eyes. The reading of tabs how-ever when this command is used it less then optimal. I have reported this problem to gw micro now the window-eyes team in the past. What should happen when this key is pressed is as follows. First the name of the new tab that is active should be read, then the name of the focused object should be read. What happens is the name of the focused object is usualy read not the name of the tab giving the user no indecation that the tab has changed. Extra features that should be considered. While in a window with tabs control 1 threw 0 should be able to move from tab 1 threw tab 10 if there are that many. Control ` should move the user to the page tab list to quickly review the tab list. These changes do not need to be maid to window-eyes it self. It could be done in the windows inhanced app. Note as I said I have reported this in the past with these recommendations. To date nothing has been done about them.

This is the standard Windows hot key combo for reading through a standard TabList. It works in another screen reader but I havent gotten it to work in WE so far. I was guessing the Control-tab key may be a WE hot key but couldn't find it, at least not so far, in the WE docs after going through the list of we hot keys, looking under several likely topic Titles and trying a search on control-tab. Do you know if this is a WE hot key since it is, or at least was, a standard Windows hot Key but doesn't seem to work in WE? At least it was listed in the quick search on google for windows hot keys I just performed - let me know if this is not the case if you know. What category would it be listed under if I want to turn it off in WE if not important? I designed a rather complex form using the Tab Control in Visual Studio and really don't want to slog through the labels in production mode using the mouse to open the various tabs nor have to use another reader on this page nor completely ReDesign and ReProgram what is a nice layout. If I can get the Windows Hot key to work, control-tab, I should be able to tab through the tab list properly me thinks.
