Dennis, There are still hyperactive windows in Window-Eyes. However standard windows also have several statuses, one of which is "Speak." It is possible that setting a window around the area to "Speak" might be adequate. Of course, there may be a challenge to get it to not speak when something else occupies that point, but you should be able to do that. These are very, very old features of Window-Eyes, but it is possible that scripting what you want might work better, I don't know.

A program will be running on a PC which will be receiving position data from a machine I will be controlling. A specific region on the screen will be receiving the changing 4-digit numerical data in the form 8.273 or -1.047. When a new value is received by the PC, the previously displayed value is discarded and is replaced by the new value in the same location on the screen. I would like to have WindowEyes automatically read the number aloud as soon as the number changes without me having to go to the keyboard to interact with the PC, because my hands are being occupied controlling the machine. I recall that many years ago that WindowEyes had a feature called something like hyper active windows where a region on the screen could be monitored for a change, and when a specific result occurred at that location, this could trigger an event. Does this capability still exist in the cu rrent version of WindowEyes, and if so can it be used to accomplish what I have described? Thanks for taking the time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on what I have described or other solutions. All the best, Dennis _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
