Jay,
This is looking great under Vista. I was able to navigate around the java
control panel cleaning out temp files, disabling the update check, and
checking the version of Java I had installed. I then gave the java notepad
a spin and was able to read the text of buttons as I arrowed or tabbed
through them as well as read the text I typed out. Great job!!

Subject: WE4Java - 0.9.9 beta now available - Vista is back on the menu!
All,
Version 0.9.9 beta of WE4Java is now available for download at the link
below:
http://rapidshare.com/files/189105273/WE4Java_0.9.9_setup.exe
The beta has been run successfully on my new Vista machine (Home Premium
with sP1) using both the Notepad demo and the java control panel under java
1.6.
The other enhancement of some significance with this beta is that tracking
of mouse movements is now supported. While the handling of mouse movement
keys on the keyboard is still being developed, WE4Java will respond to mouse
movements using either a regular mouse or touch pad. If the mouse stays over
a control more than half a second, it will be announced. Note that
recognition and speaking of controls is limited to those which WE4Java
currently knows about. This includes field labels.
NOTE: In order for the wsc file to compile and register properly and for
other installation tasks, it is important that the setup program be run
under an account which has admin authority.
NOTE 2: When WE4Java launches, it currently announces WE4Java ready. With
this release, the version is also spoken such as WE4Java 0 point 9 point 9
beta ready. If you do not hear the version spoken, you do not have the
current version of the WE4Java jar file properly installed. If this occurs
and you have run the setup program, try running the Install Java utility
from the WE4Java program group and allowing it to install the updates to
both the default java environment and any product specific java environments
you are aware of.
Good luck. I will be anxious to receive feedback on the execution of WE4Java
for Vista users especially.
