Butch,
My experience has been the opposite of yours. I was finding that the
new dynamic web pages were becoming more difficult if not impossible to
read until the new brows mode was released. It is true that there is a
minor stability issue with the new brows mode, but I know this issue is
being addressed. Remember, you can always hit alt control W to restart
speech if it stops. The new brows mode makes possible the reading of
constantly changing web content. Thank yew to the Window Eyes
development team!

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.
