As more and more of the newer programs and Windows Store apps use newer techniques for presenting their information, or use a web browser view, it becomes more difficult for Window-Eyes to associate a mouse position with particular information or to define windows that will read info consistently. But there are still plenty of programs where reading of windows could be helpful. In other cases, I imagine that the Hot Spot app might be useful.

Hi: I just checked in the hotkeys section of the Window-eyes control panel, and it appears that all the hotkeys for setting up and reading user windows are still there, but they are undefined. If one were to redefine those keys, could one still set up a user window?
