Subject: Introducing Window-Eyes 9.3.1

Get Built-in Optical Character Recognition and a Faster User Experience with 
Window-Eyes 9.3

Window-Eyes 9.3 is now available providing customers with the ability to 
recognize text from files or the screen with built in Optical Character 
Recognition. This version also offers a more reliable and stable user 
experience that will help maximize your productivity at work, home, and school.
Keep reading to learn more about the features and enhancements in Window-Eyes 
9.3:

Extract Text from Files, Images and the Screen Quickly and Easily

*Recognize text in inaccessible scanned PDF files.

*Recognize text from images in .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tiff formats.

*Choose from several different kinds of file types to recognize, 
including .txt, .html, .xml, and .zip.

*If Office is installed, you can also OCR documents ending in .docx, 
.pptx, and .xlsx.

*Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can be recognized, including text 
found in WordArt to ensure readability.
All-New Read to End

*Read-to-end has been completely rewritten to provide the most 
responsive and accurate reading experience.

*When read-to-end is stopped, it will start again from the word that 
was last spoken to help save time and increase efficiency.

*If a Braille display is connected, Braille output will remain in sync 
with speech as documents are read aloud.

*Hot keys used to increase or decrease speech are much more responsive, 
enabling users to more easily read documents in the manner they prefer.
Microsoft Office

*Improved reading of all spell check dialogs in Office 2010, 2013, and 
2016.

*Responsiveness of the Outlook 2010, 2013, and 2016 inbox under Windows 
10 has been improved to make reading email faster.

*Outlook's conversation view in 2010, 2013, and 2016 is now supported 
so that users can group messages with the same subject enabling reading of all 
messages within a thread quickly and easily.

*If Window-Eyes was restarted while Outlook was open, message 
virtualization would stop functioning until Outlook was restarted. This issue 
has been fixed.

*When a PowerPoint slideshow started, and Window-Eyes was set to 
automatically read the entire document, only the content of the first slide 
would be spoken. This has been fixed.

*If the version of Window-Eyes for users of Microsoft Office was in 
use, and the Office 365 sign-in window was closed without first entering any 
text, Window-Eyes would crash. This has been resolved.

*Other miscellaneous fixes.
Mouse Improvements

*The physical mouse now reads UIA and IA2 programs, which improves the 
reading experience in programs such as web browsers and modern Windows apps.

*A hot key to continue a mouse search in reverse has been added.

*Window-Eyes can now read an entire line or only a word under the 
pointer as the physical mouse moves across the screen.

*The mouse can now be set to read instant, hover, or no echo when 
moving the mouse around the screen. If the user sets it to hover, the amount of 
time can be adjusted before the information under the mouse is spoken. This 
allows low vision users better control over what they hear when the mouse moves 
around the screen.

*Other miscellaneous fixes.
Other Fixes

*Responsiveness in the Windows 10 File Explorer has been improved.

*Quickly check the status of wireless network connections with a single 
hot key.

*Responsiveness for Eloquence, eSpeak, RealSpeak, Vocalizer, and 
Vocalizer Expressive synthesizers has been significantly improved.

*The WE cursor (which allows you to explore the screen without moving 
the mouse pointer) has been renamed to the invisible cursor to better reflect 
its functionality.

*The QuickStart Wizard has been replaced with a new app called Setup 
Wizard providing a new visual interface and more options to help users get 
started using Window-Eyes.

*The app update notification options that are displayed when updates 
are available have been expanded to include a tone, dialog box, tooltip, or any 
combination of the three.  This enables users to select how they want to be 
notified of app updates.

*Support has been added for the Handy Tech Active Star, Handy Tech 
Modular, and BAUM VarioUltra displays.

*Numerous stability fixes and performance enhancements have been added.

what that's called;  oh: UAC.  Anyway, after that, it took a long time to go 
to the next step with the welcome and the changes it will make, and do I 
want this or that?  After I told it to go ahead and install, I got this 
message that I couldn't install this upgrade on my existing copy of window 
eyes.  I have 9.2, and it said it was supposed to be able to upgrade from

Subject: RE: Introducing Window-Eyes 9.3.1

I am looking forward to downloading the new Window-Eyes this evening my time.

I am also encouraged that amongst the enhancements, read-to-end has been 
redesigned for proper synchronising with braille displays.

However: there is a long list of needed braille support updates, which I have, 
along with others,  been requesting across several product releases.

Synchronising as part of read-to-end is different from braille autoscroling, 
which is just one of several recommendations I have provided.  Proper 
autoscorlling allows for adjustment of the display's panning independently of 
speech.



Improving mouse performance is also a significant development.  But are there 
added braille hot keys to take advantage of these improvements?


Speaking of braille hot keys: one of my suggestions has been that these be 
reorganised, to follow the grouping which applies to speech related hot keys.

What is AI Squared true commitment to braille?  When will we see these much 
needed braille improvements, not of all of which are listed in this response.

Fixes to improve the performance of Outlook are very welcomed, along with 
changes to the app update menu.

Vaughan.

Hi Linda,

This file might be a large one and so may take a while to download.  If
it were me, I would wait maybe up to an hour after starting the updating
process.  If then nothing is updating, or apears to have downloaded,
then it would be time to call for Help at A I Squared.

RE: Introducing Window-Eyes 9.3.1

2015-12-16 Thread Vaughan Dodd via Talk
I am looking forward to downloading the new Window-Eyes this evening my time.

I am also encouraged that amongst the enhancements, read-to-end has been 
redesigned for proper synchronising with braille displays.

However: there is a long list of needed braille support updates, which I have, 
along with others,  been requesting across several product releases.

Synchronising as part of read-to-end is different from braille autoscroling, 
which is just one of several recommendations I have provided.  Proper 
autoscorlling allows for adjustment of the display's panning independently of 
speech.



Improving mouse performance is also a significant development.  But are there 
added braille hot keys to take advantage of these improvements?


Speaking of braille hot keys: one of my suggestions has been that these be 
reorganised, to follow the grouping which applies to speech related hot keys.

What is AI Squared true commitment to braille?  When will we see these much 
needed braille improvements, not of all of which are listed in this response.

Fixes to improve the performance of Outlook are very welcomed, along with 
changes to the app update menu.

Vaughan.

I just wanted to reassure you that we understand and appreciate the importance 
of continued improvements to Braille support in our products.  I can't tell you 
exactly when more Braille enhancements will be made available, but what I can 
say is that improved Braille support is one of our top priorities now that 
Window-Eyes 9.3 has been released.  As I have mentioned to you before, your 
suggestions are being reviewed and documented. And, we greatly appreciate your

I am also encouraged that amongst the enhancements, read-to-end has been 
redesigned for proper synchronising with braille displays.

However: there is a long list of needed braille support updates, which I have, 
along with others,  been requesting across several product releases.

Synchronising as part of read-to-end is different from braille autoscroling, 
which is just one of several recommendations I have provided.  Proper 
autoscorlling allows for adjustment of the display's panning independently of 
speech.



Improving mouse performance is also a significant development.  But are there 
added braille hot keys to take advantage of these improvements?


Speaking of braille hot keys: one of my suggestions has been that these be 
reorganised, to follow the grouping which applies to speech related hot keys.

What is AI Squared true commitment to braille?  When will we see these much 
needed braille improvements, not of all of which are listed in this response.

Fixes to improve the performance of Outlook are very welcomed, along with 
changes to the app update menu.

Vaughan.

9.3:

Extract Text from Files, Images and the Screen Quickly and Easily

*Recognize text in inaccessible scanned PDF files.

*Recognize text from images in .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tiff formats.

*Choose from several different kinds of file types to recognize, 
including .txt, .html, .xml, and .zip.

*If Office is installed, you can also OCR documents ending in .docx, 
.pptx, and .xlsx.

*Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can be recognized, including text 
found in WordArt to ensure readability.
All-New Read to End

*Read-to-end has been completely rewritten to provide the most 
responsive and accurate reading experience.

*When read-to-end is stopped, it will start again from the word that 
was last spoken to help save time and increase efficiency.

*If a Braille display is connected, Braille output will remain in sync 
with speech as documents are read aloud.

*Hot keys used to increase or decrease speech are much more responsive, 
enabling users to more easily read documents in the manner they prefer.
Microsoft Office

*Improved reading of all spell check dialogs in Office 2010, 2013, and 
2016.

*Responsiveness of the Outlook 2010, 2013, and 2016 inbox under Windows 
10 has been improved to make reading email faster.

*Outlook's conversation view in 2010, 2013, and 2016 is now supported 
so that users can group messages with the same subject enabling reading of all 
messages within a thread quickly and easily.

*If Window-Eyes was restarted while Outlook was open, message 
virtualization would stop functioning until Outlook was restarted. This issue 
has been fixed.

*When a PowerPoint slideshow started, and Window-Eyes was set to 
automatically read the entire document, only the content of the first slide 
would be spoken. This has been fixed.

*If the version of Window-Eyes for users of Microsoft Office was in 
use, and the Office 365 sign-in window was closed without first entering any 
text, Window-Eyes would crash. This has been resolved.

Hey, we go through this every time an update comes out.If you can't 
get it, kind of like how I am as of this writing, just be patient.  
There is nothing wrong with your computer or internet connection, there 
just isn't enough bandwith to go around for everybody. Their servers are 
jammed.
