Amerisoft dvd ripper
Hi all. Does anyone have suggestions for improving the accessibility performance of Amerisoft DVD ripper? I've purchased it because of its promise to integrate cvd rips into Itunes. I wish to play DVD movies via my Apple Tv and Home Sharing. I'm currently of the impression that it will work with Window-Eyes 9.2, but things could be better. Hope I haven't totally wasted my scarce funds. Thanks in advance.

Admittedly, since switching to Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows 7 64 bit system and now Windows Defender on my Windows 10 64 bit system, I haven't seen any lockups of speech, at least not out of the blue without my touching my keyboard. One thing I have noticed on my Windows 10 system is when I am in the Action center portion of the notification area and I press Windows-M to attempt to go to my desktop icons, it is common for WE to lockup, requiring me to press Control-Alt-W to reload, and this can take a good few seconds before WE comes back. To avoid this problem, I now tab out of the Action Center to go to the icons. Also, I did notice the other day that when my wireless keyboard loss battery power, WE locked up and this was simply due to my trying to press keys. When I put the new batteries into the keyboard and press Control-Alt-W, WE came back, but isn't it interesting that this would cause a speech lockup?

If it is a web page it sounds more like the website may be performing some maintenance on their server(s) and something is causing a problem that WindowEyes may not be able to handle. Websites often perform necessary maintenance on the same day of each month, sometimes each week, and that can cause the web site or some pages to either be down or some unexpected results to return to the browser. It also could be, as Chris mentioned, you have something scheduled to run at that day and time or perhaps even an app that was loaded by the vendor when you purchassed the machine having problems like trying to call home and waiting for a response that never comes. These are not a WindowEyes problem but if your machine loses speech or locks up whenever this happens due to some third party operation that, in my old fat blind guy opinion, is a WindowEyes problem. But, the simple approach, work-around, is do your work either earlier in the day, later or on another day unless it is a date time critical operation. Other than that you would have to identify, ask around this list, what program is causing the problem and try to work-around it or deactivate it if something you don't use anyway.

RE: WE and Electronic Time card data collection software?
Hi Shannon, interesting you ask about electronic timecards...I actually use something with Window-Eyes called Chronos workforce, it's part of an application called oracle which is somewhat user friendly...the thing that drives me up the wall (nuts/crazy) is that whenever you add a row, it's a pain in the neck because you have to add a row in the right place, i.e annual leave, sick leave, etc. Charlie Best Regards Charlie Short -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+clshort=verizon@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Shannon via Talk Sent: Friday, October 02, 2015 10:42 AM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: WE and Electronic Time card data collection software? Good morning all, I hope someone on this list has encountered this issue. Our company is considering getting away from paper time sheets and implementing an electronic solution for time collection. It is either done through an actual card swipe or through a smart phone app for clocking in and out. So far I have investigated two possible solutions. One product is called Exak time, and the other is called About Time. Both systems have a program that would live on our server in the office that is the actual collection area for all login data for the time. Exak Time has no trial software program that I may play with to see if WE will work with its control panel. About Time engineers said that there is no keyboard support for their control panel. So does anyone here deal with any sort of time collection system that does work with WE? Has anyone here ever heard of either of these products and know if they are indeed accessible? I would like to be able to use the software but... If I am not able to find a workable solution it may become someone else's job to manage payroll, and I'll have to find another hat to ware.

Re: WE and Electronic Time card data collection software?
Hello shannon: It's more than a 64-million dollar question! To the best of my knowledge, there's no screen reader that works with any electronic time card equipment. I've been trying to implement one in my business, and the issues you described numbs my feet. Perhaps Latham might be a better company to approach. They do have, if memory serves, time clocks that permit the swiping of the time card. I believe they'll send you a demo copy of their software to play with. It's been a while since I talked to them, but they were very friendly over the phone. I think that Latham does have electronic time card equipment that can make a wireless broadcast directly to the software residing on a server. I'll plan on calling them again to check on what's new lately. I surmise that you work in payroll? How hard is that to do from a blindness perspective? I'm outsourcing payroll presently but, someday, I may have to learn to do it in-house though the various tax thingies scare the heaven and hell and earth out of me !!

RE: Windows 10 performance improvement is just a cumulative update away
I actually ended up having to roll back completely to windows 7 because I somehow managed to get something corrupted when I did a pc restart after a later update that must have happened sometime Wednesday or Thursday. My desktop appeared to be completely emptied, and I couldn't get anything to read reliably once I had gotten logged on, and nothing would change in my settings and save once I managed to get that far. I had to use system access to go as it was the only thing that would somewhat reliably read the menus and other screens that came up. I was going to try to just reset my pc under windows 10 to see if that would have fixed the problem, but, when I was told that it was going to remove all my apps anyways, I was like I might as well roll back to what worked previously with seven if that was going to be the case. My copy of window-eyes still works as it was prior to my hang up, meaning I have my eloquence synthesizer that I bought as an add-on, whitch is good, but, I hated having to take such a drastic step to fix the problem in the first place. Has anyone seen anything similar to what I described, and if you've updated to the latest release of windows 10 with the new kb applied, what have you noticed with performance improvements?

RE: Windows 10 performance improvement is just a cumulative update away
Don, Bring up the settings window with Windows-I. From there, choose "Recovery." As you Tab, you'll find two buttons labeled 'Get Started." The first is to reset your current Windows installation, and the second is to begin rolling back to the previous version. While I have not gone through this step myself, my understanding is that if you had Windows 10 RTM and updated to and Insider build, rolling back will effectively put you back on RTM. If in doubt, I recommend calling the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk for clarification. Also remember to unenroll your device from the insider program once you are back to RTM.

Recent Speech Loss and Tool Tips
Hi: Just had a WE outage after closing Outlook. I fired up narrator and WE came back in a few seconds and the first thing I heard from WE was the words "Tool Tip". This has also been the case in several other WE outages where I heard the words "Tool Tip" either when going down or coming back. I have Speak Tool Tips turned off if I remember in the WE Control Panel. Does WindowEyes attempt to process ToolTips or only not speak them when the Speak Tool Tips is turned off in the Control Panel? Since the words "Tool Tip" have been spoken several times during WE dying or coming back I am wondering if particular tool tips are causing problems from time to time even though not being spoken.

WE and Electronic Time card data collection software?
Good morning all, I hope someone on this list has encountered this issue. Our company is considering getting away from paper time sheets and implementing an electronic solution for time collection. It is either done through an actual card swipe or through a smart phone app for clocking in and out. So far I have investigated two possible solutions. One product is called Exak time, and the other is called About Time. Both systems have a program that would live on our server in the office that is the actual collection area for all login data for the time. Exak Time has no trial software program that I may play with to see if WE will work with its control panel. About Time engineers said that there is no keyboard support for their control panel. So does anyone here deal with any sort of time collection system that does work with WE? Has anyone here ever heard of either of these products and know if they are indeed accessible? I would like to be able to use the software but... If I am not able to find a workable solution it may become someone else's job to manage payroll, and I'll have to find another hat to ware. Smile Any advice or alternatives are welcome and appreciated.

RE: losing speech--last Monday of month--early morning
I am running the insider preview build 10547 of Windows 10 and Window-Eyes 9.2. If I open the Action Center and then press Windows-M, focus does move to the list of shortcuts on the Desktop. But, if I arrow around, the focused shortcut's name is not announced only the shortcut's tooltip when it is displayed. If I use Windows-D instead, everything works as expected. So, Rod, I would recommend trying Windows-D instead of Windows-M to see if that helps. I will try to duplicate this issue, and if I can, will work on logging an official bug report.

I have mucked with the mouse settings to reduce, not eliminate, phantom speech by about 90 percent - did not seem to help too much with automatic dynamics that may, or not, be related to WindowEyes using the mouse behind the scenes. I just turned off sleep mode. I still get speech drop outs and the occasional lockup most often in Internet Explorer likely due to how WE responds to various dynamics of web pages. I get them perhaps a couple to few times a day which is still unacceptible but better. Along this path of modification I have spent many, many hours both researching the problems and trying to find and implement the above solutions with allot of help from the community and a little from AI Squared. Next up if possible is to try and define what is causing the speech drop outs and lockups in Internet Explorer, Outlook and other programs. It could be anything from a bad script to something being put into memory that gets overwritten to thread conflicts. This may be a result of how the low level message processing or other heavy technicals are used or how windoweyes handles working in a multi-processor and multi-threading environment under the latest virtual processor machines since WindowEyes does not use the .net platform to handle such things as memory allocation, controls and all that jazz as far as I know. Anyway, thanks for the heads up but it was detailed, I think, in one of the messages I sent to the list or to Rod so I wasnt expecting the 4 combo boxes on my desktop machine but good heads up for the laptop guys and gals.

RE: Final Message? RE: Sleep Mode Situation
Hi Rod: I got there typing sleep into the start box and picking one of the options. The Dialog came up with the 2 combo boxes and I set both those puppies to never. I think this is a well defined problem and this is another tweak that will help stabalize WindowEyes so I don't get as many speech loss or reading content problems. Along with mucking with the mouse settings and letting WindowEyes start speaking a line or so when switching between applications or opening a new application I have reduced the speech drop outs and lockups by, a very rough guess, 50 or better percent. I still get them sometimes like when doing a read to end in Internet Explorer or other programs but they were getting really bad a few months ago. I am not sure how ram allocation takes place, the WE team are C++ guys and may be doing something that stuffs something into volitile ram that perhaps would better be handled in some other way. This is another reason I have pushed for WE Development using one of the .net languages in Visual Studio to help avoid low level programming problems or operating system problems on Windows boxes. I don't know if this is the underlying cause but it could be. OK, another one bites the dust and WE is now a little more stable since I have turned off sleep mode it seems - no losing ram after sleeping since my computer never sleeps, a sludge hammer approach but if it works and gets the job done congrats to all who figured this out and indeed good job by the client community!

RE: losing speech--last Monday of month--early morning
Hi, If it is the last Monday of the month regardless of the date, it sounds like you have some kind of scheduled task running. Open the task scheduler and see if there is a task set to run at that time, what it is and stop it.

I have an HP desktop computer, Windows Vista and WE 8.4. I have a problem with losing speech on the last Monday of the month in the early morning at around 4:00 a.m. central standard/daylight saving time. Sometimes control, alt,w doesn't work to restore speech and control,alt,delete won't work either for some reason. I have to do a hard reset and then reboot one more time. Sometimes I can't shut down the computer using control, alt, delete and I need to do a hard reset and reboot. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance for all your help.

WE In Browse Mode Question
When WE is loading a new web page, it reads the name of the page I was previously on. Can that be changed? Also I find that page down is the easiest way to read relatively lengthy matterial short of read to end, but I always have an issue with the first line. Is there a way to have WE read the first line when I press page down? ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
