Re: Seeking Your Input
I really do hope that these issues are fixed in the next version of Window-eyes. Internet Explorer is the only browser I can tell that Window-eyes truely likes when it comes to reading text heavy webpages. Chrome seems to be a little worse than firefox, especially on this page. I've loaded the same page in NVDA and there are none of these issues. Maximizing does nothing to fix it for me. https://www.google.com/url?sa=trct=jq=esrc=ssource=webcd=6cad=rjauact=8ved=0CEQQFjAFahUKEwifuJqB04zGAhWMTZIKHXGrAGUurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.makeuseof.com%2Ftag%2Ftrick-websites-changing-user-agent-chrome%2Fei=Ah98VZ-vCYybyQTx1oKoBgusg=AFQjCNH73G4zm0LrK5ZXhLtLR4yL9-AIWQsig2=Z1Kg1R_PQBtJ5HZuBSsNYQ I look forward to hopefully seeing a new Window-eyes in the near future.

It's interesting that whenever I go to a site where I have to fill out and submit a form, I often have to switch from JAWS to WE to get the task done. Sometimes JAWS can't even see a form on a page that is obviously there. Sometimes JAWS will say that there is a button, but does nothing when you try to activate it.

Hello Jeremy: You wrote: We are constantly working behind the scenes to improve our products. If you could narrow down the top three requests you would have us add to our screen reading product, what would they be? Sorry, I'm a bit late to this thread; nevertheless, I have the following suggestions: 1. Please explore the prospects of porting Window-Eyes to the Android platform as an alternative screen reader to Google Talkback. Perhaps this is asking for much too much, but if Window-Eyes could be a mobile screen reader on this platform, it would certainly open a brand-new world of unparalelled accessibility and will enable Window-Eyes to spread its tentacles by giving Android users more screen reading choices. ShinePlus is a new entrant in this respect, can Window-Eyes be second? 2. Some of us are entrepreneurs; we run our own retail establishments swiping credit cards, trying to accept electronic checks the same way Walmart does it, and lots more. Could GW Micro/AI Squared look into MAKING AT LEAST ONE POINT-OF-SALE SOFTWARE accessible? . 3. How about providing access to Coral's Word Perfectr so we are now just stuck with the status quo?

Pam, do you have access to any other pc where you could try it with 8gb of ram? WE sometimes has problems with email, but I don't think it's due to memory or the lack there of.

RE: [EXTERNAL] WE crashing was RE: Seeking Your Input
I really suspect crashing is most often a function of a difficult to detect trojan virus/malware. This means you may have to try several solutions in order to come up with a really clean system. I've been using trojan killer lately, as it has a high reputation for finding the very difficult to detect trojans, in combination with the Microsoft Security Essentials (or Windows Defender). Malware Bytes is also highly rated, but many articles say it doesn't catch everything. Next suggestion would be to scan the disk for file errors. If you've had and removed several infections, you may need to reinstall Windows in order to get undamaged Windows components (especially if you've upgraded your Windows). Memory in my opinion, above 4gb, may just possibly make things run faster, but does nothing for preventing crashes; that's why virtual memory was created, to compensate for any lack of memory.

What antivirus package are you running? 2. How much RAM does your machine have? These are important questions as they can go to some of these issues. I was running Vipre on my netbook which slowed down the system and cause crashing issues. I no longer run Vipre and am getting better performance as a result. Thanks.

RE: Seeking Your Input
Regarding Ms Word, I contend that one should stick with whatever is working! No need grabbing every new copy that pops up. I've been using Ms Office 2007 forever and, unless it dies, that's what I'll continue using. I too detest the fact that Window-Eyes and other screen readers barely care about providing accessibility to other word processors. However, the developers will tell you that development resources are limited and, besides, the blind public DOES NOT use those other word processors except Microsoft Word. So, not to worry, we'll always be stuck with Ms Office! Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Don't you think someone would have already monetized or implemented an OCR solution to solving captchas if such was possible, or practical?

I took much time to write a program to manage my stock brokerage account e*trade, from the desktop per their suggestions about accessibility.

I cant read them and 90 percent of the time cant pick out which letters and numbers from the garbled speech if there is even a speech option for the captcha. I was allot more annoyed since they told me creating my own UI interface using their API would be a good thing and, if no captcha, would indeed have been a good thing for blind users of e*trade. Other places around the net use them and I just don't make use of their services but that limits my ability to get things done in a prudant and, or, efficient manner.

Re: [EXTERNAL] WE crashing was RE: Seeking Your Input
My experience so far is that 4 GB is enough RM. When things are running normally with not too many programs running (but 65 to 80 processes), you're using less than 2 GB of RAM. Doesn't matter whether this is with Wiindow-Eyes, JAWS or NVDA. 8 GB would provide some insurance, especially if you leave your computer running for days at a time, but I don't think it's a big deal. But 2 GB isn't enough these days. Just my experience. YMMV.

Hello Andy, I am very surprised that any systems are limited to only 4GB or memory. That is not very much memory for Vista, Win 7, or Win 8. Perhaps memory is an issue, since the machine I keep getting the troubles only has 6 GB of memory. Perhaps Win eyes likes 8 or more?

RE: Seeking Your Input
Well in spartom prodject fire fox plug-ins will work. I think the most important things for window-eyes is to support that web browser as soon as it become a stationary target. Second window-eyes is the only screen reader at the moment that does not support touch. Window-eyes needs to support touch. All these other ideas are nice and fine but with out touch support window-eyes is behind everyone else. I am sure that the issue is being studied and when we finely get touch support it will be better then the rest. Finely window-eyes really needs to do a better job hooking the keyboard. For example in windows explorer command for shift insert can not be defined because if you issue these commands the paste command is performed instead. In outlook the new message command is performed instead of the shift insert command. Capslock should be its own prefix verces just being another insert key. Numpad insert and the insert key should be treated as separate keys as should left windows and right windows. 3rd party tools. Screen ocr should be added as a add-on app that gets installed with window-eyes. Support for skype really needs improvement. I should be able to use skype in what ever interface. Keys for accessing the most important parts of the skype window should be added. In windows explorer keyboard commands to read headers should be added. In the brows enhanced app place markers should work as expected. The ability to read the name of the document loaded should be added as well as reading the line of text the browser is on should be added. And example Please log in document. National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped Downloadable Books and Magazines I have window-eyes set to read nothing because I don't want the whole page read as a page loads. I don't want the first 24 lines. I just want to know what page I am on and the line of text I am on. As it stands now I get no information at all. Minor window-eyes changes. Smart message box reading. I don't want a whole message box read. I also most of the time want to hear more information then just the name of the dialog and the focus button. I want the name the text relating to the message and the focused button. For example. Delete Multiple Items Are you sure you want to permanently delete these 11 items? Yes button. The ability to read heading level after name would save a whole bunch of time. the ability to read controls as you can in braille feeld name classe type class state feeld data. Make the buttons also see that the name of the button is not read as data but name. this is correct verces reading it as data. Yes for example is not data you can't change it it is the name of the object not its data. Correct the reading of tab controls. When you press the control tab key the name of the tab that is active should be read then the name of the object that has focus should be read. At the moment when using control tab you don't know what tab you have moved to. You can see an example of this in the sounds window in the control panel. An app to allow quick access to tabs. For example if you need tab 3 you could press control 3 to access the 3rd tab in the page tab list. The f8 command working in brows mode is cool but the ability to use normal windows commands for copying text would be nice. Thanks for reading. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Andre via Talk Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 5:46 PM To: 'Ray Campbell'; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: RE: Seeking Your Input Hi Jeremy, I echo Ray's statements below. I'll add one more web site or component and that's instant teleseminar, and go to webinar. So much is done these days using these tools, and it's just not accessible as far as the interaction with the host. So we can't enter questions to ask, or interact via chat features, or read the info the host posts such as a simple web link. The ocr feature is definitely necessary for captcha in ie, and other clickable images. Webvisum is only for firefox and there needs to be a reliable ocr feature for IE and FF that's not dependent on a third party tool. Any time our work productivity depends on a third party rather than remaining mostly in our own control, that hampers our own work performance. I'd like notification when a web page has been updated. So based on in page links or some part of a form that requires user input, after that data has been entered, I'd like verbal notification of what has changed on that web page.

RE: Seeking Your Input
I think this would be a good feature. I question if it should be a part of window-eyes it self. An external app to solve these and another or the same to perform ocr. This way when the app needs updating it could be updated from the apps page when you start the program. That is one of the wonderful things about window-eyes apps you can add features with out having to code it directly in to the program. Such an app will probably need regular updating and the window-eyes update cycle is not robust enough to acomadate such an app. Just like if you wanted a research tool having it as an external app would be better. lets take a look at how other screen readers handel this. Many of the updates have to do with keeping the tools working as they should. If this was done as an app it could be updated with out having to update the whole program. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of David Goldfield via Talk Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2015 12:17 PM To: Tom Fairhurst; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Seeking Your Input I actually think that a built-in captcha decoder is a terrific idea.

I once used Word Perfect all the time, then about 15 years ago, had to switch over to the Dark Side and use MS Word. I still use Word, but could say that I still miss Word Perfect and the way it operated. I know that MS Word is the dominate Word Processor on the Market, and has been for a while now. Never the less, with the interface changing in Word about every other edition, it is difficult to buy their next copy knowing you are going to need to re-learn a lot of what you knew well in their previous edition. MS Word 2003 had the same look and feel of most of the editions of MS Word, going back to the DOS Days. Then some Bright and Rising Star at Microsoft decided it would be a good thing to change Word. We the public were offered MS Word 2007, where everything was changed, forcing people to hunt around for features and commands that once were automatic, but now were hidden away in some dark corner of the newest edition. the next edition was MS Word 2010, which again rebuilt the interface, forcing everyone to yet again learn the new layout in MS Word. I am still stumbling around in MS Word 2010. then 2013 came along, and Word 365 which has changed the interface yet again. When it comes to computers, and the software that runs on them, most customers want reliability, and they want consistency in the program design. Most computer users are not using a computer because they love dinking around with computers, but are using one because it is to be an assistive tool, that helps them to be more productive. having to relearn drastically altered interfaces is not what the General Public Dreams of doing. So when Microsoft comes along with a brand new edition of Office, the first thing all of us ask is, is it going to be Accessible? And if so, will it be more accessible than the previous edition, or will we be losing some accessibility. Today, all Word Processors I know of, allow the user to Save their Documents in the MS Word file format.So whether you use Word Perfect, or Open Office, or some other Processor, is not as isolating as it once was. Since Microsoft is planning to release their new Windows 10 sometime in July. Anyone know if they will be releasing a new edition of MS Office? Office 2015? Getting back to offering support for another Word Processor. . . I am all for it. Whether it is Open Office, or even Word Perfect, having alternatives would be nice. Since I am no longer a Working Stiff, I find my own funds are now limited, and the thought of going out and buying a copy of MS Office does not seem like something I will be choosing to afford. At 12:37 AM 5/29/2015, you wrote: As I'm adding a fifth suggestion to my initial list, does this mean I'm pleading the fifth? Seriously, I totally agree with this request about support for LibreOffice. I realize that AI Squared is partnering with Microsoft. I realize that Microsoft Office is a major Microsoft product and, for many reasons, it is essential that Window-Eyes remains better than competitive by offering the best access to Office as we can get. I get that and agree with it. However, one of the reasons for why I broke down and purchased Office 365 at home was because, if I'm going to be honest, Office offers me the best accessibility for document creation and editing. I'm sure Microsoft is quite pleased with this fact. I also feel no malice toward them for their products or for the way they are being marketed and distributed. The fact is that Microsoft Word is a darn good product, is used by a lot of people and screen readers need to support it. However, Office should not be the only choice available to us. Some people just can't afford it. Some can but don't feel that they should have to pay for a decent word processor and I'm in that camp. I love the philosophy of open source, not just because many open source packages are free but because they are written and supported by a community, rather than a corporation, which has some advantages over Microsoft Word. Although Window-Eyes isn't such a product, the scripting/app development aspect brings that community involvement to Window-Eyes and you guys do it better than your competition. Having said that, we need to see equal support for LibreOffice, or at least as much as can be implemented if there are limitations caused by the software. I can tell you that the Document Foundation, which produces and distributes LibreOffice, is interested in accessibility-related feedback and would probably be happy to work with AI Squared in helping to make Window-Eyes work just as well with Writer
RE: Seeking Your Input
OK, how about fixing WindowEyes so it will not grab the Error Window when editing code in the code editor window for Visual Studio. WindowEyes stands alone with this problem and it was not there in the WE 8.x versions if I remember correctly. I have tried to script a solution but couldn't figure out what was causing the problem and it involves a production Microsoft Platform key feature so something that WE experts might address without too much work me thinks. I don't care about anything else in the Visual Studio platform like the Forms Designer since I can work around these WE problems but the Error Window grabbing focus every time there is an initial error check and then thereafterrequiring tabbing in and out of the code editor every time you insert delete or otherwise modify code is beyond annoying and costs allot of time and headaches making Visual Studio only somewhat useful with WindowEyes and I have asked for this for ever when it has happened in the past. Aarons Script he wrote many years ago is not working and way overkill and I had never gotten it to work but then I was using the Express versions at the time. Long story short, my standing request for WindowEyes to address Visual Studio at some ongoing level like other screen readers do still stands if you are really interested in doing something with your Partners client Development software. Visual Studio is the flagship platform put out by Microsoft and after all you are a Microsoft Partner and thus should be making every effort to make their software accessible and useable me thinks.

I would like to see as much support as possible for these accessibility methods in the scripting language, in developer documentation and example code. Programmers need really clear examples of when to set the name, value, description, role, etc. of these controls. If the mouse pointer can be used with any of these, that would be a bonus. Keep working on web browser support, for all three browsers. You might want to have a quirks mode, trying to fix bugs in popular web sites and site building tools' output, as well as a WCAG standards mode that gives web developers an experience of what an ideal user agent will do if the pages are coded properly, with no allowance for quirks. It goes without saying that you will need to support touch gestures. You will need to continue to educate users and developers concerning the causes of some of the crashes or apparent crashes. I think most of us don't have any idea how difficult it is to work with modern web pages and apps. People have forgotten that sometimes pressing ctrl-shift-W twice will give information that's not available otherwise, and that other programs can only be read by moving the mouse pointer around. You will gain the best market share by staying up-to-date and by being stable and dependable, not by adding more unique features or free speech synthesizers.

RE: Seeking Your Input
Hi: This is another Microsoft flagship product like Visual Studio and in my opinion these packages along with SQL Server Management Studio should be pretty accessible for any Microsoft Partner. Note how 90 percent of the desires on this thread are for free software products indicating these folks likely don't use WindowEyes in a professional greenies paying situation for the most part. While Office is used in business and other software mentioned most of the really good paying jobs use Office or Access or Visual Studio or Sql Management Studio or other Microsoft Development or Office products when it comes to a Windows Platform which is prevelent in most larger employer companies. Other software is also used extensively but these are the ones that Microsoft puts out and after all AI2 is a Microsoft Partner are they not? These packages open up very good paying jobs to blind folks so long as they are accessible and are with another screen reader but not so much with WindowEyes. So I second the Access request all be it I use Sql Server and Sql Server CE in most of my development - Access is a good choice just diferent and best with Office products.

RE: Seeking Your Input
There is a workaround to solve the synth pronunciation quirks. Create a new Window-Eyes user profile and name it for the synth that profile will use. Each new user profile is able to be tailored to each user's preferences of synth and screen, keyboard, mouse, verbosity, etcetera, settings because each profile has its own unique folder containing set files, character, exception, key label, graphic, etcetera dictionaries. Furthermore, a new user profile can be created using all of your other settings so that you don't have to set your rates, tones, verbosity blah, blah, from scratch. It would take some time and patience to tweak a new excp.dic for a given synth, but if mispronunciations bug you, then you will find it worth your time. Once you have created new user profiles, then instead of switching synths, you would switch user profiles. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+fenderwal=sbcglobal@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Tom Kingston via Talk Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 8:57 PM To: Ted Larson; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Seeking Your Input Ted, Regarding your desire for a pronunciation dictionary? This isn't possible. The speech synthesizers are completely independent of Window-Eyes. They're made by other companies and they all have different quirks. So there's no way for the folks at AI (or any other screen-reader developers) to do anything about it. That's why Window-Eyes has the exception dictionary feature. But you don't want to use it to fix every little quirk in a synth because all text queued for voicing must query the dictionary before being sent to the synthesizer. This is why most of them have commercial versions for dedicated systems such as phone services. And these commercial versions have the tools to create pronunciation dictionaries and embed them into the synthesizer itself. And if you use more than one synthesizer you'll see differences in what's pronounced right and wrong between them.

Re: Seeking Your Input
As I'm adding a fifth suggestion to my initial list, does this mean I'm pleading the fifth? Seriously, I totally agree with this request about support for LibreOffice. I realize that AI Squared is partnering with Microsoft. I realize that Microsoft Office is a major Microsoft product and, for many reasons, it is essential that Window-Eyes remains better than competitive by offering the best access to Office as we can get. I get that and agree with it. However, one of the reasons for why I broke down and purchased Office 365 at home was because, if I'm going to be honest, Office offers me the best accessibility for document creation and editing. I'm sure Microsoft is quite pleased with this fact. I also feel no malice toward them for their products or for the way they are being marketed and distributed. The fact is that Microsoft Word is a darn good product, is used by a lot of people and screen readers need to support it. However, Office should not be the only choice available to us. Some people just can't afford it. Some can but don't feel that they should have to pay for a decent word processor and I'm in that camp. I love the philosophy of open source, not just because many open source packages are free but because they are written and supported by a community, rather than a corporation, which has some advantages over Microsoft Word. Although Window-Eyes isn't such a product, the scripting/app development aspect brings that community involvement to Window-Eyes and you guys do it better than your competition. Having said that, we need to see equal support for LibreOffice, or at least as much as can be implemented if there are limitations caused by the software. I can tell you that the Document Foundation, which produces and distributes LibreOffice, is interested in accessibility-related feedback and would probably be happy to work with AI Squared in helping to make Window-Eyes work just as well with Writer as it does with Word. This would open up good word processing to many more of your users and would make Window-Eyes stand apart from the competition if we could have the same level of support with LibreOffice/OpenOffice as we do with Word.

Re: Seeking Your Input
Here are my ideas/requests for possible Window-Eyes enhancements. 1. The ability to run Window-Eyes completely off of a thumb drive without the need to install drivers onto the host system. (If this is already possible, please let me know. 2. An offline dictionary with thesaurus. I realize that some people will passionately disagree with this request by saying that this is not a screen-reader specific feature and that we have many online options for word definitions and synonyms. These statements are all true and so there's no need to debate that. However, this is something that would still make Window-Eyes not only useful but unique as I don't believe this is available in other Windows screen readers. This could be an optional component to be installed and, like the Mac, could be globally available, even without an Internet connection. I could envision being in a Word document or a Web page, placing the cursor on a word without the need to highlight it first and being able to look up definitions and such with the press of a hotkey. Again, perhaps this is hardly necessary but it would make Window-Eyes stand out from the competition. 3. The ability to enter BIOs/Uefi settings and have them accessible. Maybe it's not possible. However, some might have concluded that screen readers would never be able to talk in safe mode and Window-Eyes can offer that capability, which is one of the things which makes it truly unique and which makes it stand apart from its competition. If AI Squared could offer this feature you'd be able to do this even more. And if I may sneak in a fourth idea ... 4. Could we please have built-in voices from other text-to-speech vendors, such as Ivona or A Capella? This is totally irrational but as much as I don't mind Samantha on my iPhone I don't care for her as much on my Windows PC and I'd like to see some additional alternatives.

Re: Seeking Your Input
Have you tried Window-eyes with Jarte? If you Google it, you may find it serves your needs. Elizabeth At 03:37 AM 5/29/2015, you wrote: As I'm adding a fifth suggestion to my initial list, does this mean I'm pleading the fifth? Seriously, I totally agree with this request about support for LibreOffice. I realize that AI Squared is partnering with Microsoft. I realize that Microsoft Office is a major Microsoft product and, for many reasons, it is essential that Window-Eyes remains better than competitive by offering the best access to Office as we can get. I get that and agree with it. However, one of the reasons for why I broke down and purchased Office 365 at home was because, if I'm going to be honest, Office offers me the best accessibility for document creation and editing. I'm sure Microsoft is quite pleased with this fact. I also feel no malice toward them for their products or for the way they are being marketed and distributed. The fact is that Microsoft Word is a darn good product, is used by a lot of people and screen readers need to support it. However, Office should not be the only choice available to us. Some people just can't afford it. Some can but don't feel that they should have to pay for a decent word processor and I'm in that camp. I love the philosophy of open source, not just because many open source packages are free but because they are written and supported by a community, rather than a corporation, which has some advantages over Microsoft Word. Although Window-Eyes isn't such a product, the scripting/app development aspect brings that community involvement to Window-Eyes and you guys do it better than your competition. Having said that, we need to see equal support for LibreOffice, or at least as much as can be implemented if there are limitations caused by the software. I can tell you that the Document Foundation, which produces and distributes LibreOffice, is interested in accessibility-related feedback and would probably be happy to work with AI Squared in helping to make Window-Eyes work just as well with Writer as it does with Word. This would open up good word processing to many more of your users and would make Window-Eyes stand apart from the competition if we could have the same level of support with LibreOffice/OpenOffice as we do with Word.

RE: Seeking Your Input
Hello Jeremy: What a wonderfully open-ended question you have asked. As a person new to WE, recently migrating from Zoom Text, I cannot comment on how past features are different in the current version. I can only dream of what would make my life easier with assistive technology such as Window Eyes. 1. As an engineer who focuses on architectural designs of complex systems, I would like some way for graphical constructs (e.g. flowcharts, state transition diagrams, UML diagrams, etc. to be described. Since all of these types of graphics are not bitmap type graphics but logical representations of logical connections between entities, some method of description should be possible. The difficulty is that it may depend upon the package used to create the visualization (Visio, Word Art, Enterprise Architect, etc.) 2. I think there is an opportunity to improve Power Point capabilities. Perhaps it is my lack of experience with WE when reading Power Point diagrams, but I find that tabbing between objects on a slide to be confusing and not very intuitive. If I tab to a text box, for instance, I am told that I am on a text box and its location, but its content is not disclosed. I must hit enter to read the text contained within. 3. Improved access with collaborative tools, like WebEx. I am not sure if this can be solved by the WE team alone. It probably requires accessibility vendors to drive change in these collaborate tools to support accessibility. Today, others in my workplace are used to helping me read screens presented in these collaborative tools. I envision a future where this support is no longer necessary and that I can read these shared screens as well as they appear in their native tools. From a business side, now that AI Squared and GW Micro are now one, I would like to see an upgrade pricing strategy to support those migrating from Zoom Text to Window eyes. I am currently using the WE for Office, but would like to purchase a licensed copy with the extra voices and technical support, but the $900 price tag is a significant barrier. Thanks for asking and listening.

Hi: That's why I think efforts by AI Squared and other screen reader makers should be to get their products to work with mainstream remote assistance products like TeamViewer, LogMeInPro and others.

I get that and agree with it. However, one of the reasons for why I broke down and purchased Office 365 at home was because, if I'm going to be honest, Office offers me the best accessibility for document creation and editing. I'm sure Microsoft is quite pleased with this fact. I also feel no malice toward them for their products or for the way they are being marketed and distributed. The fact is that Microsoft Word is a darn good product, is used by a lot of people and screen readers need to support it. However, Office should not be the only choice available to us. Some people just can't afford it. Some can but don't feel that they should have to pay for a decent word processor and I'm in that camp. I love the philosophy of open source, not just because many open source packages are free but because they are written and supported by a community, rather than a corporation, which has some advantages over Microsoft Word. Although Window-Eyes isn't such a product, the scripting/app development aspect brings that community involvement to Window-Eyes and you guys do it better than your competition. Having said that, we need to see equal support for LibreOffice, or at least as much as can be implemented if there are limitations caused by the software. I can tell you that the Document Foundation, which produces and distributes LibreOffice, is interested in accessibility-related feedback and would probably be happy to work with AI Squared in helping to make Window-Eyes work just as well with Writer as it does with Word. This would open up good word processing to many more of your users and would make Window-Eyes stand apart from the competition if we could have the same level of support with LibreOffice/OpenOffice as we do with Word.

As for stability, I've only been using WE 9.1 for about a month and find it to be fairly stable, and restarting WE (controlk-alt-w) has worked for me virtually without problems. One more thing, if WE could work better with audio and video playback software such as reading graphics (so that I can scroll through various menus) that would make it easier for me to listen to a Caudio CD or DVD.

Re: Seeking Your Input
Hi Rick. You might want to see if aisquared is still doing the lease to own program. I am not for sure but it would not hurt to ask. Matthew On 5/29/2015 6:18 AM, Rick Blair via Talk wrote: Hello Jeremy: What a wonderfully open-ended question you have asked. As a person new to WE, recently migrating from Zoom Text, I cannot comment on how past features are different in the current version. I can only dream of what would make my life easier with assistive technology such as Window Eyes. 1. As an engineer who focuses on architectural designs of complex systems, I would like some way for graphical constructs (e.g. flowcharts, state transition diagrams, UML diagrams, etc. to be described. Since all of these types of graphics are not bitmap type graphics but logical representations of logical connections between entities, some method of description should be possible. The difficulty is that it may depend upon the package used to create the visualization (Visio, Word Art, Enterprise Architect, etc.) 2. I think there is an opportunity to improve Power Point capabilities. Perhaps it is my lack of experience with WE when reading Power Point diagrams, but I find that tabbing between objects on a slide to be confusing and not very intuitive. If I tab to a text box, for instance, I am told that I am on a text box and its location, but its content is not disclosed. I must hit enter to read the text contained within. 3. Improved access with collaborative tools, like WebEx. I am not sure if this can be solved by the WE team alone. It probably requires accessibility vendors to drive change in these collaborate tools to support accessibility. Today, others in my workplace are used to helping me read screens presented in these collaborative tools. I envision a future where this support is no longer necessary and that I can read these shared screens as well as they appear in their native tools. From a business side, now that AI Squared and GW Micro are now one, I would like to see an upgrade pricing strategy to support those migrating from Zoom Text to Window eyes. I am currently using the WE for Office, but would like to purchase a licensed copy with the extra voices and technical support, but the $900 price tag is a significant barrier. Thanks for asking and listening.

RE: Seeking Your Input
Bravo! Well said! The thing I miss most about Word Perfect is the ability to do a backward search. Now why didn't MS Word do that? Paulette -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+paulette=evickery@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Dave via Talk Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 10:55 AM To: David Goldfield; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Seeking Your Input Hey, I would like to see Access return to Word Perfect. I once used Word Perfect all the time, then about 15 years ago, had to switch over to the Dark Side and use MS Word. I still use Word, but could say that I still miss Word Perfect and the way it operated. I know that MS Word is the dominate Word Processor on the Market, and has been for a while now. Never the less, with the interface changing in Word about every other edition, it is difficult to buy their next copy knowing you are going to need to re-learn a lot of what you knew well in their previous edition. MS Word 2003 had the same look and feel of most of the editions of MS Word, going back to the DOS Days. Then some Bright and Rising Star at Microsoft decided it would be a good thing to change Word. We the public were offered MS Word 2007, where everything was changed, forcing people to hunt around for features and commands that once were automatic, but now were hidden away in some dark corner of the newest edition. the next edition was MS Word 2010, which again rebuilt the interface, forcing everyone to yet again learn the new layout in MS Word. I am still stumbling around in MS Word 2010. then 2013 came along, and Word 365 which has changed the interface yet again. When it comes to computers, and the software that runs on them, most customers want reliability, and they want consistency in the program design. Most computer users are not using a computer because they love dinking around with computers, but are using one because it is to be an assistive tool, that helps them to be more productive. having to relearn drastically altered interfaces is not what the General Public Dreams of doing. So when Microsoft comes along with a brand new edition of Office, the first thing all of us ask is, is it going to be Accessible? And if so, will it be more accessible than the previous edition, or will we be losing some accessibility. Today, all Word Processors I know of, allow the user to Save their Documents in the MS Word file format.So whether you use Word Perfect, or Open Office, or some other Processor, is not as isolating as it once was. Since Microsoft is planning to release their new Windows 10 sometime in July. Anyone know if they will be releasing a new edition of MS Office? Office 2015? Getting back to offering support for another Word Processor. . . I am all for it. Whether it is Open Office, or even Word Perfect, having alternatives would be nice. Since I am no longer a Working Stiff, I find my own funds are now limited, and the thought of going out and buying a copy of MS Office does not seem like something I will be choosing to afford.

Second, one thing Window-Eyes does that no other screen reader to my knowledge does is allow you to hit a hot key and bring it back up when it stops talking. One thing I'd love for WE to do that would separate it from the pack is to be able to run when you're installing or upgrading Windows. I don't think any screen reader does that.

Re: Seeking Your Input
Hello. I would like to see Window-eyes read text better in firefox. Ever since the new browse mode, reading text in firefox has been some what of a chore. Sometimes a letter or even parts of words are simply chopped off from the end of a line. And even sometimes, whole lines are hidden until I up arrow. A great example of this is pretty much any youtube comment section. This never ever happened in the old browse mode. Also, I too would like to be able to select text the usual way in a webpage. The new way is useful for large blocks of text, but if I want to select a line, or even just a word, there is in my opinion an unnecesary added step or two that has to be taken to accomplish this quite simple task. And of course, I would like to see Window-eyes be more stable, and hang less. The ability to restart the program is a great start, but I would like to use it less, if that makes sense.

RE: Seeking Your Input
Yes, Window-Eyes needs to have better marketing of its products, especially since it is going to be made by AI Squared once things are properly merged and the website is just the single AI Squared. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+skyt=shaw...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Lloyd Rasmussen via Talk Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 4:46 PM To: Jeremy Curry; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Seeking Your Input JAWS and especially NVDA are ahead of Window-Eyes in the use of iAccessible2 and UIA accessibility hooks. I would like to see as much support as possible for these accessibility methods in the scripting language, in developer documentation and example code. Programmers need really clear examples of when to set the name, value, description, role, etc. of these controls. If the mouse pointer can be used with any of these, that would be a bonus. Keep working on web browser support, for all three browsers. You might want to have a quirks mode, trying to fix bugs in popular web sites and site building tools' output, as well as a WCAG standards mode that gives web developers an experience of what an ideal user agent will do if the pages are coded properly, with no allowance for quirks. It goes without saying that you will need to support touch gestures. You will need to continue to educate users and developers concerning the causes of some of the crashes or apparent crashes. I think most of us don't have any idea how difficult it is to work with modern web pages and apps. People have forgotten that sometimes pressing ctrl-shift-W twice will give information that's not available otherwise, and that other programs can only be read by moving the mouse pointer around. You will gain the best market share by staying up-to-date and by being stable and dependable, not by adding more unique features or free speech synthesizers.

RE: Seeking Your Input
This is an excelent opportunity to once again request (now with urgency) improvements to braille support. Secondly: improvements as to how Window-Eyes operates in corporate environments. And thirdly: online sales availability for those of us outside of the United States. Adding a fourth: increasing the gap between what is available to paying customers and those who take the Office route. By way of example: perhaps my longed for improvements to braille could aply only to ve3rsions of the software which are purchased.

First, I would like to know what is hogging the system, taking away resources from the application I am working on. Second, Sometimes a dialog box appears without telling me anything and then disappears within a couple of seconds without a clue. Third: It would be nice to have all words that window-eyes cannot pronounce correctly, to be updated through a dictionary where those words could be found and spoken correctly. Thanks.

This is absolutely ridiculous. You're right about Jaws making users think most of the Windows hot keys are Jaws keys. But Window-Eyes has never done that. Give me a list of the most if not all Windows keys that Window-Eyes is hiding from us. The standard selection keys are not employed in browsers for anyone but screen-reader users.
