using window-eyes 9.3.1 to navigate difficult web sites
Hi. I have the latest version of we on a windows 7 64 bit laptop. I occassionally do surveys online and find that some of the web sites are difficult to navigate with we either because the questions aren't reading correctly or graphics are not labeled. Also there's one site I use www.instantcashsweepstakes.com that I can answer the first question out of the 3 but when I try to answer the second or third the choices are not visible. What settings in we do I need to have enabled to read web pages that are difficult or don't read correctly? I could be doing surveys on www.tellwut.com and some of the surveys that are third party don't have the graphics labeled in som eof the questions choices. I listened to navigating the web with we on the gwmicro website under window-eyes tutorials. Is there any other resource I may need or update? I did make sure my firefox was updated and the adobe flash plug-in keeps crashing which may be an issue I don't know. Any ideas would be appreciated. I also did listen to using the mouse with we also. Thanks. -- Rebecca Ilniski email: rilni...@gmail.com ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

Re: using window-eyes 9.3.1 to navigate difficult web sites
Try internet explorer, but sometimes the website is poorly designed and there isn't much you can do -- take them one at a time, ask on the list about each one, and write to the developers, sometimes they will listen and sometimes not.

When I went to Programs and Features on the Windows 8.1 machine to uninstall, and answered yes to uninstalling it, I got an edit box and Webroot was looking for me to enter something. The screen is so inaccessible that I couldn't figure out what it's looking for me to enter. I tried disabling all of the Webroot processes and re-installing WE after using the WE Emergency Removal tool per Chris's suggestion, and that still doesn't work. I guess I'm going to have to have Geek Squad or someone else uninstall this thing so I can get back to using the screen reader I most enjoy, Window-Eyes.

You may need to run the emergency removal utility , close Webroot (stop its protection) before installing Window-eyes and install Window-eyes again. Webroot is blocking Window-eyes components from being installed properly. As far as your wife's h for heading key not working or all other quick navigation keys if there is a setting in Webroot that deals with keylogging, turn it off. It doesn't like the fact you are pressing an H and Window-eyes is doing something with that H. It thinks Window-eyes is logging your keystrokes so it doesn't let them through. Webroot was supposed to have white listed Window-eyes. Apparently it didn't. If you want something that works like webroot but is more accessible, check out GData internet security. In GData you'll need to turn off its keylogging function as well to get the quick navigation keys to work.

I had a problem like that when I first installed Window-eyes 9 on my system. The file that was flagged was one of the components that was necessary for running scripts, so I was a bit lucky I suppose. My solution was to install a different antivirus package, although you may not want to do that if you like the one that you are using. You might ask why I went to the bother of installing another antivirus program, instad of telling the antivirus package to ignore the file in question. The answer is that I tried that and it didn't seem to work. The antivirus package continued to flag that file, so I got rid of that package and installed a different antivirus software.

Re: Problems with Window-Eyes 9.3.1 on both a Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machine
Hi Kevin, Chris and all: I was beginning to think Webroot may be the problem. I'll gladly get rid of it as it's not accessible at all. Just hate the fact I got it for free. What antivirus packages do folks recommend? I think I've still got a Vipre subscription, and I've also got Windows Defender. I'm considering going back to Vipre; we had issues with my wife's old computer and VIPRE but I think that had more to do with that machine having only 2GB of RAM. Thanks, this really helps; I prefer Window-Eyes to other screen readers. I'm just curious, and don't expect anyone here to know the answer, why JFW installed, especially on the WIN 10 machine without the same kinds of issues.

Hi Ray: I think that all your problems with the Windows 8.1 system and Window-eyes 9.3.1 stem from the fact that that file was flagged by your Antivirus software, and it sounds like that file that was flagged is one which is essential for Window-eyes to run properly. I had a problem like that when I first installed Window-eyes 9 on my system. The file that was flagged was one of the components that was necessary for running scripts, so I was a bit lucky I suppose. My solution was to install a different antivirus package, although you may not want to do that if you like the one that you are using. You might ask why I went to the bother of installing another antivirus program, instad of telling the antivirus package to ignore the file in question. The answer is that I tried that and it didn't seem to work. The antivirus package continued to flag that file, so I got rid of that package and installed a different antivirus software. Now everything works fine. Kevin Huber On 1/4/16, Ray Campbell via Talk <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> wrote: > Hi All: > > I'm glad to be back on the Talk list.

Hi All: I'm glad to be back on the Talk list. Following is a copy of an email I sent to WE Support documenting some major issues we're having with Window-Eyes 9.3.1 on both a Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machine. Just sharing in case anyone else is having any of these issues and may, along with the support team, have ideas on how to resolve them. At this point in time, we don't consider Window-Eyes 9.3.1 usable on either machine and are using JFW. We recognize, however, not everyone has that option.

Here is what is happening and what I’ve tried. On the Windows 8.1 machine, I ran the update from Window-Eyes 9.2 to Window-Eyes 9.3.1 yesterday. When I got the update installed and re-started the computer, my antivirus package, Webroot Secure Anywhere, flagged what I believe was a Window-Eyes DLL file as a threat. I can’t remember the entire file name, but it started with GWHK and had the extension DLL. Webroot isn’t the most accessible tool, but I was able to get over to where it said de-select, click it and then hit continue. The problems didn’t end there. When I go to my desktop, I hear Window-Eyes say ‘No Selected Item’. When I arrow around on the desktop, I don’t hear anything. When I went into my documents folder, I noticed that using the up and down arrow I wasn’t hearing my files and folders being read. This was also true when I went to the folder view on my external hard drive, as well as when I typed in a search for something from the start menu and hit enter and the search results came up. Thinking there might have been something wrong with the update, and, since I have a full 9.3.1 install because we got my wife a new Windows 10 computer, I uninstalled Window-Eyes and used the 9.3.1 full install to re-install the software. The problems I had didn’t go away. I notice if I, say, go into the documents folder, then shut down and re-start Window-Eyes, I can then read down through the list of files and folders. But, If I go into a folder, I have the same problem where I can’t read the list of files or folders using the arrow key and have to shut down and re-start Window-Eyes again. I noticed something when I initially go into folders like documents. When I do that, then do ctrl+backslash to open the Window-Eyes control panel, the file announced is default.set. When I re-start Window-Eyes, then, go into the WE control panel, I hear wineyes.set announced. I’m thinking there could be issues with file associations that I’m seeing. How can I fix this? Now, for the issues I’m seeing on my wife’s new Windows 10 laptop. Basically, they are the same. However, I’m also seeing a situation there in Internet Explorer. If I go to a website, then try pressing say the ‘H’ key to navigate by headings, nothing happens. Going to the WE Control panel I hear ‘default.set’ announced. I tried opening ie.set and this didn’t change the situation. I used the flu 9.3.1 install to load Window-Eyes onto the Windows 10 machine. When I re-started the computer after doing this, Webroot didn’t flag the same DLL as a threat. Can you help us resolve these issues? I did manage to look at some of the Windows 10 information in the knowledge base and didn’t find that there was anything readily apparent I would need to do. If there’s something with the computer that I may have to have visually checked, can you tell me what I should have someone look for? I have a tech support plan for three devices from Geek Squad so they can help me. Or, can we set up a time for me to remotely connect with you so you can look and see what might be going on on each computer? I can make arrangements to be here during the day to do this.

RE: Problems with Window-Eyes 9.3.1 on both a Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machine
Hi Ray, Unfortunately, the issues you are seeing are due to Webroot Secure anywhere. You may need to run the emergency removal utility , close Webroot (stop its protection) before installing Window-eyes and install Window-eyes again. Webroot is blocking Window-eyes components from being installed properly. As far as your wife's h for heading key not working or all other quick navigation keys if there is a setting in Webroot that deals with keylogging, turn it off. It doesn't like the fact you are pressing an H and Window-eyes is doing something with that H. It thinks Window-eyes is logging your keystrokes so it doesn't let them through. Webroot was supposed to have white listed Window-eyes. Apparently it didn't. If you want something that works like webroot but is more accessible, check out GData internet security. In GData you'll need to turn off its keylogging function as well to get the quick navigation keys to work.

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 8.4. I tried that twice and got the same results. It tells me I have two smas left. So, I don't know what gives.

Window-Eyes 9.3.1
Last evening, I was able to download Window-Eyes 9.3.1 on both computers. I do like the changes and fast response of Window-Eyes. I do have a problem in Microsoft Office for Word 2013. I have the blank line feature of Window-Eyes set to say blank lines. It does not say it. There is no speech from Window-Eyes whenever it encounters a blank line. Why is Window-Eyes behaving in this way? What steps can I take to make this work correctly?

RE: Introducing Window-Eyes 9.3.1
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 feedback.

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.

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.
