Mine did the same thing, and then later on, I tried, but I couldn't get any
farther than telling the computer yes, I wanted to make changes. I forget
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
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. Pam.

I have tried three times to get the upgrade. My computer keeps saying
"progressing," and eventually closes. What do I do? Call AI Squared
and get remote assistance? Thanks.

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.
