9.3:
Extract Text from Files, Images and the Screen Quickly and Easily
· Recognize text in inaccessible scanned PDF files.
· Recognize text from images in .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tiff formats.
· Choose from several different kinds of file types to recognize,
including .txt, .html, .xml, and .zip.
· If Office is installed, you can also OCR documents ending in .docx,
.pptx, and .xlsx.
· Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can be recognized, including text
found in WordArt to ensure readability.
All-New Read to End
· Read-to-end has been completely rewritten to provide the most
responsive and accurate reading experience.
· When read-to-end is stopped, it will start again from the word that
was
last spoken to help save time and increase efficiency.
· If a Braille display is connected, Braille output will remain in sync
with speech as documents are read aloud.
· Hot keys used to increase or decrease speech are much more responsive,
enabling users to more easily read documents in the manner they prefer.
Microsoft Office
· Improved reading of all spell check dialogs in Office 2010, 2013, and
2016.
· Responsiveness of the Outlook 2010, 2013, and 2016 inbox under Windows
10 has been improved to make reading email faster.
· Outlook's conversation view in 2010, 2013, and 2016 is now supported
so
that users can group messages with the same subject enabling reading of all
messages within a thread quickly and easily.
· If Window-Eyes was restarted while Outlook was open, message
virtualization would stop functioning until Outlook was restarted. This issue
has been fixed.
· When a PowerPoint slideshow started, and Window-Eyes was set to
automatically read the entire document, only the content of the first slide
would be spoken. This has been fixed.
· If the version of Window-Eyes for users of Microsoft Office was in
use,
and the Office 365 sign-in window was closed without first entering any text,
Window-Eyes would crash. This has been resolved.
· Other miscellaneous fixes.
Mouse Improvements
· The physical mouse now reads UIA and IA2 programs, which improves the
reading experience in programs such as web browsers and modern Windows apps.
· A hot key to continue a mouse search in reverse has been added.
· Window-Eyes can now read an entire line or only a word under the
pointer as the physical mouse moves across the screen.
· The mouse can now be set to read instant, hover, or no echo when
moving
the mouse around the screen. If the user sets it to hover, the amount of time
can be adjusted before the information under the mouse is spoken. This allows
low vision users better control over what they hear when the mouse moves around
the screen.
· Other miscellaneous fixes.
Other Fixes
· Responsiveness in the Windows 10 File Explorer has been improved.
· Quickly check the status of wireless network connections with a single
hot key.
· Responsiveness for Eloquence, eSpeak, RealSpeak, Vocalizer, and
Vocalizer Expressive synthesizers has been significantly improved.
· The WE cursor (which allows you to explore the screen without moving
the mouse pointer) has been renamed to the invisible cursor to better reflect
its functionality.
· The QuickStart Wizard has been replaced with a new app called Setup
Wizard providing a new visual interface and more options to help users get
started using Window-Eyes.
· The app update notification options that are displayed when updates
are
available have been expanded to include a tone, dialog box, tooltip, or any
combination of the three. This enables users to select how they want to be
notified of app updates.
· Support has been added for the Handy Tech Active Star, Handy Tech
Modular, and BAUM VarioUltra displays.
· Numerous stability fixes and performance enhancements have been added.
