Well, How to start the thing going was exactly one of the missing pieces in Aaron's announcement. But also, We need to know under what circumstances should we find that we would need Virtual View, and what prep would we need to set up the image, or the situation, or whatever, before invoking Virtual View. And, can we save the results, or edit and save the results? In short, I think we need a good demo, [Mark] with more than one or two examples, a good Webinar, perhaps two!

As you know window eyes has free apps that you can install and run with we. They do all kinds of things like help get access to many windows programs, help access all kinds of things etc. Example: You can check the weather, you can get better access to outlook the Microsoft email program and more. Well, virtual view another free wineyes app has been upgraded with some of the most useful features you could imagine. So, use the free app called app get and either get or update your virtual view app. Then try out the new features Aaron and others are mentioning below. Example: I just pressed ctrl-alt-v and launched the virtual view app. I then was able to tab through the apps settings/features. I cut and pasted a pdf file in to the Virtual View window and wow it did OCR on the file and I could read just the text. This is way cool, check it out and rely on your friends / users on this list to learn more and get answers. Hope this helps.
