RE: screen reader compatibility
Funny about this thread. The only reason I even looked at it was because on November 24th, I experienced a power failure and then there were updates. I still find Window-Eyes is working fairly well but it seems that Windows 10 is now showing some compatibility issues with older software. I use a program called VipMud to play some text-based games. Window-Eyes will no longer read what's under the cursor yet it will in other applications and this is with or without a Soundpack installed. I can't seem to find a means to resolve this one. Window-Eyes is obviously still working well through Office 2016, Edge is marginal because it's interface is different and so on. They obviously have ceased to continue testing Window-Eyes with future Builds of Windows 10 but so have they likewise with other legacy software and so it goes. -Original Message- From: Talk On Behalf Of David via Talk Sent: Friday, March 30, 2018 2:03 PM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List Cc: David Subject: Re: screen reader compatibility Interesting enough.

Will be interesting to read user feedbacks, on how it all affects WinEyes.

Re: screen reader compatibility
Good afternoon, I have a problem with w-e at this point in time. It works very well with reading, however, it will not read anything scanned into the printer. It prints perfectly but w-e will not read it. NVDA will read but not w-e. Am I missing a setting somewhere or is this paart of not being compatible. I use windows 10, 9.5.4.0, and text cloner pro OCR. Would sure hate to change readers. Thanks for any help.

Not mentioning WE is the responsible thing to do. Different people have different needs, and accessible to one person may not be accessible to another.

Note: Window-Eyes is no longer supported as a compatible screen reader from this forum cluster as the product was discontinued. Also, based on latest information available, the tentative schedule of events regarding Version 1803 (on this forum cluster) is as follows: • Around April 3, 2018 or whenever it happens: Version 1803 build will be sent to release preview Insiders. From that day on, the entire forum cluster will enter Version 1803 era. • Around April 10, 2018: Version 1803 makes public debut. • April 11, 2018 or at most 24 hours after public release: critical standby begins. This is a 72-hour period where all activity on the Win10 forum will be suspended except for Version 1803 upgrade reports and impressions. This is also the period when Microsoft staff and screen reader vendor reps will get temporary moderator privileges so they can pass on critical information for screen reader users (please show them respect during that time). • Between 1803 release date and 60 days after: countdown for Version 1709 is in effect. During this time cumulative update notices for both 1709 and 1803 will be sent to the forum cluster. • June 30, 2018 or end of 60 day countdown, whichever happens earlier: cumulative update announcements for 1709 will cease. The next KB alert for 1709 will be on April 2019 once it exits consumer support. • December 2018: cumulative update for 1803 will cease. • October 2019: last KB alert for 1803 as it exits consumer support. The above schedule is subject to change – depends on when Version 1803 will hit the air. Cheers, Joseph _._,_._,_ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

screen reader compatibility
I copied this from another list.Hi everyone, Below is an update on screen reader compatibility notice and a schedule of events regarding Version 1803: A few weeks ago I sent out a preliminary notice regarding compatible screen readers with Windows 10 Version 1803. The below notice replaces the preliminary one and should be considered official compatibility notice from this forum cluster: Windows 10 Version 1803 compatible screen readers: any screen reader supporting Version 1703 or later will work, although you may need to install releases optimized for 1803. The following are known compatible screen readers: • Narrator : yes. • NonVisual Desktop Access: 2018.1.1 or later. • JAWS for Windows: 18.0.4350 or later, 2018.1802.78 or later. • ZoomText: 11.5 or later. • Any screen reader declaring support for Version 1703 (Creators Update) or later (except Window-Eyes). Note: Window-Eyes is no longer supported as a compatible screen reader from this forum cluster as the product was discontinued. Also, based on latest information available, the tentative schedule of events regarding Version 1803 (on this forum cluster) is as follows: • Around April 3, 2018 or whenever it happens: Version 1803 build will be sent to release preview Insiders.
