Hello Vaughan, I wanted to let you know that each and every message that is posted to this list is read by one or more staff members at Ai Squared. We take all of our customers' feedback very seriously and use it to help drive the future development of Window-Eyes. I agree that braille support is of utmost importance because of the many benefits it offers including increased productivity and accuracy when working on your PC. I have personally documented the nine braille related requests you submitted to the list earlier this month and distributed the feature list to my colleagues via email so they would be aware of your suggestions even if they missed your original post.
The bottom line is we are aware of the issue and want to do something about it. Although I am not on the development team, I am willing to wager that it will take a substantial amount of engineering time to update the braille support offered by Window-Eyes and implement all of the features you have requested. Since we have a limited amount of development resources, it is highly unlikely that these braille related feature requests will make it into Window-Eyes 9. With that being said, we will do our best to accommodate all of your braille feature requests as soon as we can. In conclusion, I can assure you we are listening and will continue to strive to meet the needs of our valued customers. Regards, Marc Subject: RE: Ai Squared releases Window-Eyes 9.0 Beta 3 From: "Vaughan Dodd" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:03:30 +1300 I notice the reference in the readme file for updating of the driver for HIMS braille products. Confused by this, as the driver that I know about is external to Window-Eyes. Window-Eyes requires the externally suplied driver before it will run the HIMS devices. The hot keys for the Edge are still incorrect, referring to the eight function keys as advance. The install refers to updating of some braille device global hot keys, but the readme does not say which ones. There are a number of required improvements to braile support, and when this issue is raised frequently via the list, no one from AI Squared even confirms that the requests are on the to-do list. Let us not have another "guess what" series for version 10, but hopefully - braille enhancements will make their way into the final release of version nine. Vaughan.
