Minimum Version: Window-Eyes 7.5.3

What's New In Version 0.65 - Updated the Language Specific Voice Register. The Vocalizer voices under Window-Eyes, should now be recognized - along with other voices. - As part of the upgrading process, the user will be asked, if he wants to keep his current Dictionaries active. Should he decide to keep the Dictionaries active, all his Voice- and Software-Specific Dictionaries will remain untouched. Updated entries found in the Shipping Dictionaries, will not be merged with existing Dictionary files. Still, any new dictionaries created after the upgrade, will be build from the Shipping Dictionaries, and hence will include any updated entries. - The Extended Dictionary no longer merges your entries from the Native Window-Eyes Exception Dictionary, into your Voice-Specific Dictionaries. When a new Voice-Specific Dictionary is being created, the user now will be asked, if he wants the entries from the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary imported. Merging the entries from the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, has the benefit, that you can continue to enjoy the functionality of your old entries. Still, merged entries, also have proven to be problematic, in certain cases. Furthermore, you might not want to have the entries merged, under another language, as this likely will mess up your synthesizer's pronunciation.You should be aware of the risk in merging the Native Window-Eyes Exceptions, and make your informed decision. Entries can always be manually transfered from the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, into your Extended Dictionaries at a later state. - New Radiobutton under the Extended Dictionary's entry in the App menu. Go to Settings, and tab over to Advanced Settings. The radiobutton controls whether or not, the entries of the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, should be merged, when creating new Voice-Specific Extended Dictionaries. It has three stages: YES: All your entries in the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, will automatically be merged into any Voice-Specific Dictionary, when created. NO: The entries found in the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, will NOT be transfered to the Voice-Specific Dictionaries, when these are created. You will have to manually transfer the entries, should you ever want them included in your Extended Dictionary. ASK (Default): You will be asked for each new Voice-Specific Dictionary, that is about to be created. Answering Yes, or No, will respectively have a similar impact on the merging process, as if the Yes or No setting had been chosen. - Added a checkbox in the Settings dialog, for turning Verbose Messages On/Off. Turned On, the Extended Dictionary will speak a short message, when the app has started and is ready for operation - and also, a similarly short message will be given when the app is stopped, or Window-Eyes is closing down. Unchecking this checkbox - which is the default state - will surpress any of these messages. - Added an "About"-screen, under the Extended Dictionary App-menu. - New Hotkey, Alt-Shift-8. Opens the Table Of Headings feature. The feature will let you see which section headings are found, in any of the Dictionaries built for the currently active voice. - If GWAudiokit is active, progress tones will be heard, through the Dictionary Validation process. - Updated the shipping Dictionaries. The updated entries should now give a far better - and non-cluttered - user experience. Many of the updates, have been received from users; or, have been modified due to user feedback and suggestions. The Author wants to extend great thanks to each one who has contributed. - The User's Guide dialogs now can be maximized, ensuring the user can read all the contents. - Temporary files that are created by the apps in the package, will now be deleted when no longer in use. - The hotkeys of the Extended Dictionary app, will not be activated - until the Dictionaries have been loaded, and the app actually is ready for operation. This should prevent premature keystrokes, as reported to cause trouble. - Expanded the Log-files slightly. This so as to get more full details, should the app fail. - Fixed a major bug in the Backup and Restore routines. Shipping Dictionaries and Documentation files, should now be restored to the newest version possible. - Several minor bug fixes. - Minor fix to the Capture Spoken Phrases app. - Updated several chapters of the User's Guide, and added on a handful new ones.

Hva Er Nytt I Versjon 0.65 - Oppdatterte det Språk-Spesifikke Stemme Registeret. De nye Vocalizer-stemmene i Window-Eyes versjon 8 - og andre nye stemmer - vil nå bli gjenkjent og registrert. - I løpet av oppdaterings-prosessen, vil brukeren bli spurt om han ønsker å beholde eksisterende XL Ordbøker. Velger du å beholde disse, vil pakken kun installere nødvendige filer, og dine XL Ordbøker forblir urørt. Du vil da ikke få nytte av eventuelle oppdaterte oppføringer i dine eksisterende Ordbøker. Alle nye XL Ordbøker som opprettes etter installasjons-tidspunktet, vil imidlertid bli baserte på de Ordbøker som kommer med pakken, og derfor inneholde de nyeste oppdateringer fra app-utvikler. - Når en stemme aktiviseres første gang under XL Ordboka, vil brukeren bli spurt om han ønsker å inkludere oppføringene fra den innebygde unntaksordlisten i Window-Eyes. XL Ordboka inkluderer ikke lengre automatisk disse oppføringene. Slik automatisk inkludering hadde den fordelen at du ikke mistet noen oppføringer, ved overgang til XL Ordboka. Imidlertid har dette medført såvidt store problem for en rekke brukere, at det ikke er anbefalt å inkludere disse oppføringene i de fleste tilfelle. Det hadde heller ikke noen gunstig effekt, når du opprettet Ordbøker under et annet språk. Les mer i kapitlet: Automatisk Inkludering Av Oppføringene Fra Den Innebygde Unntaksordlisten I Window-Eyes. - Tilføyet en ny radioknapp i Innstillings-dialogen til XL Ordboka. Radioknappen kontrollerer i hvilke grad oppføringene i den innebygde unntaksordlisten i Window-Eyes automatisk skal inkluderes i alle nye Stemme-Spesifikke Ordbøker. Den har tre innstillinger: Ja; Oppføringene i den Innebygde unntaksordlisten i Window-Eyes blir alltid inkludert automatisk. Nei; Oppføringene blir ALDRI inkludert. All inkludering må skje manuelt. Spør; Brukeren vil bli spurt, hver gang en ny stemme blir aktivert. - I Innstillings-dialogen for appen, finnes nå en avkrysningsboks for å slå Av eller På Inn- og Utlastingsmeldinger. - I app-menyen til XL Ordboka, finnes nå valget Om... Dette vil åpne en informasjons-skjerm, som opplyser om versjonsnummer osv. - Ny hurtigtast, Alt-Shift-8. Trykker du denne taste-kombinasjonen, vil du få opp en liste over alle seksjons-overskriftene i XL Ordbøkene for den aktive talesyntesen. Les mer i kapitlet: Funksjonen Overskrifts-liste. - Dersom GWAudiokit appen er installert og aktiv på maskinen, vil du høre små framdriftslyder, mens Ordbok-kontrollerings funksjonen jobber. - Oppdatert XL Ordbøkene som kommer med pakken. Ordbøkene skulle nå kunne gi en langt bedre og mer problemfri brukeropplevelse. Oppdatteringene er gjort med bakgrunn i tilbakemeldinger fra brukere. Mange brukere har innsendt oppføringer som er tatt me. App-ansvarlig ønsker med dette å rette en stor takk til alle som har bidradd. - Skjermbildene i brukerveiledningen kan nå maksimeres, noe som skulle sikre at all informasjon vises. - Midlertidige filer som blir opprettet av appene i pakken, vil nå bli slettet når de ikke lengre er i bruk. - Hurtigtastene i XL Ordboka, vil ikke bli aktivert før alle Ordbøker er innlastet, og appen faktisk er klar for bruk. Dermed skulle det ikke lengre være fare for komplikasjoner, som følge av 'for tidlig trykte' hurtigtaster. - Utvidet logg-filene noe. Dette for å gi så fullstendig loggføring av eventuelle feil i appen som mulig. - Rette en alvorlig feil i Gjennopprettings-rutinen. Alle XL Ordbøker og dokumentasjons-filer skal nå bli gjenopprettet til nyeste tilgjengelige versjon. - En rekke feilrettinger. - Fikset en mindre feil i Talelagrings-appen. - oppdatert en rekke kapitler i brukerveiledningen, og tilføyet en håndfull nye.

The emptying of the Wineow-Eyes Exception dictionary, as suggested by the user, does no longer apply. This due to the Extended Dictionary app, now asking if you want the merging between the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary and the new Extended Dictionary files. Unless you have special need for your old entries, and are willing to deal with the consequences of the merging, simply just answer No to this question. The extended Dictionary app then will leave your Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary all alone. You can always manually transfer the entries, should you want to. Please, refer to the update log, or the "What's New" section of the User's Guide for the app.

I suggest you empty your exception dictionary before installing this app; it tries to migrate your exception entries into its own format, but there can be unexpected consequences if you let this happen.
