Hi Dave, Here is a section from the manual on this matter, and it can be found under Window-Eyes features, Pronunciation dictionaries, The Graphic dictionary: The Graphic Dictionary The graphic dictionary allows you to label graphic symbols which applications (and Windows itself) use to provide visual information. Graphics are commonly used in e-mail programs to denote unread messages, attachments, message priorities, etc. You might also find graphics in your word processor for bold, italic, and underline buttons for manipulating text attributes. If your graphic dictionary settings are set to off, no graphic indication will be announced. If your graphic dictionary settings are set to dictionary only, then only graphics that have been labeled will be announced. Window-Eyes will announce unlabeled graphics with the word "graphic." Regardless of your graphic dictionary settings, you can rely on the Clip and Icon Prior/Next mouse hot keys to always speak a graphic's status, even if the graphic has no label . Using this feature can be useful if you need to hear the presence of a graphic when manually navigating a window, but do not want unlabeled graphics to be read with any other command. The steps for creating a graphic dictionary are similar to those for all the other dictionaries. However, since you cannot type in a graphic and then a description as you can with words and characters, Window-Eyes lets you capture the image and then label it. To add an entry to the graphic dictionary: 1. Place your mouse over the graphic you want to label. 2. Press Control-Shift-E to cause Window-Eyes to open the graphic dictionary section of its control panel. 3. Your focus will land in the "Speech Label " edit box. Type the text, if any, that Window-Eyes should speak when it encounters this graphical symbol. 4. If you have a braille display connected, Tab until you reach the "Braille Label " edit box, and enter the text that Window-Eyes should send to your display when the graphic is encountered. 5. Tab to the "Update Entry" button, and press the Space Bar to add the newly defined graphic definition to the dictionary. Window-Eyes can be instructed to ignore the graphic when you use your arrow keys to move line by line, or it can be told to ignore the graphic altogether. See the detailed explanation of the Window-Eyes control panel for additional information about the graphic dictionary's interface. Windows programs commonly have a feature known as tool tips. A tool tip is a textual label that appears below an icon in the tool bar when the mouse pointer lands on it. Tool tips can be a challenge for the speech-access user, because they disappear as soon as the mouse leaves the icon. The Auto Label Graphics hot key, reached with Insert-G by default, will cause Window-Eyes to examine every graphic on the screen. If the graphic has a tool tip associated to it, Window-Eyes will automatically store its text in the graphic dictionary and speak it when the graphic is encountered later. Note that the auto labeling feature will not change the description of an already labeled graphic. This auto labeling process can take a minute or so to complete. If you wish to stop the process, you can press the Escape key. All entries made before the Escape key was pressed will be defined, but the remaining graphic images will remain unchanged. Finally, note that the Auto Label Graphics hot key only applies to speech labels.
