Tom and Lloyd, I have had Excel sometimes go dead and found that bringing up the ribbon and then dismissing it with ESCAPE sometimes causes cells to read again. If Window-Eyes is not reading a document from the outset, then check to see if it happens to be in a Dropbox folder. If it is, go to

RE: Future Of Window-Eyes

Vaughan, NVDA and Window-Eyes both have a scripting facility. This makes them customizable to deal with changing developments in software. There are limits, of course, such that if text is not available to the screen reader, then scripting won't help. However, I do believe it is misleading to

RE: Future Of Window-Eyes

Actually: I did - perhaps not knowing about VFO as I thought a Microsoft deal was going to develop. Window-eyes is still better than the latest release of Narrator. The Office deal was spun as a way of getting a good quality screen reader into the hands of people who would other-wise not

RE: Future Of Window-Eyes

My guess is that things just come down to normal supply and demand. The customer demand has always been for JAWS. If there is no demand for a product, its business cannot grow. If it cannot grow, it cannot develop new products. The old GW Micro was in financial trouble. To begin with - I

The reason why Ted Henter who origianally created JAWS did it in the first place was that he wasn't maxamizing his potential with Vert, the dos product, and he'd tried other screen readers before that. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+skyt=shaw...@lists.window-eyes.com]

Exactly. There is an VDA, and then there is system access. Most people don't pay a whole lot of attention to either one of them. Read the book, the death of WCW. But yes, that is where I got my analogy from. Sent from my iPhone > On May 7, 2017, at 3:31 PM, via Talk

Sky, you mention the sighted folks at the now VFO, but aren't the GW Mcro owners sighted? I know GW had a lot of tech support who were blind and they knew their stuff and were more helpful than the jaws CSRs. I'm not sure how many jaws customer service folks are blind, but they don't seem as

FS always saw Window-Eyes as a threat and I have a feeling that that lawsuit they filed against GWMicro was part of their stradigy to destroy Window-Eyes. That lawsuit happened when FS was under Lee Hamilton. Then, Lee Hamilton left in 2013, and John Blake took over and then, in November of 2015,

GW Micro must have been suffering from Cash Flow problems. The question then is, how to attract more customers. The more customers, the better the cash flow. I have suspected the Window Eyes program was due for a Re-write from the ground up, but this costs lots of money, and can take a couple

Re: Speech pausing after a period.

Hi, One problem with speech pausing is the actual synthesizer you use. For example, in the program Balabolka, I can get great response using Xyro Pro from Microsoft, but get no pause at all with the NeoSpeech Paul and Kate voices. Try a different voice and see if that is the problem.
