Hi Raul,

I like that one, the versobity dialogue? I can't find it anywhere in my
Window-Eyes. Do you have a special one? If so I want it . I have a
Verbosity dialogue .

All the best

Steve

Hello Mike. It seems to me that perhaps you used to use Window-Eyes version
4.2 or 4.5. In the past, the insert-arrow-keys would change the voices on
the fly, however this has been changed to using the control-alt-arrow-keys
for better compatibility. Also, in the versobity dialog insert-v you will
find options on changing how you want Window-Eyes to speak things such as
the index in the misc section. Under the focus and misc sections, you will
find options on making Window-Eyes say things in different order. After you
make any voice or verbosity changes, go into the File menu of Window-Eyes
and save the set file. If you are prompted for a file name by an edit box,
just press escape key, in either case, your voice and verbosity changes will
be saved.

The app starting and arrow messages you are hearing have to do with the
mouse pointers of Windows. Window-Eyes is simpy telling you the shape of the
pointer which in my opinion is very important. In fact, prior to Window-Eyes
on Windows 2000 and above, Window-Eyes would tell you this information since
back in the earlier windows 95 and 98 days, but many people have forgotten
this or how useful it can be. If you go to our kb article 1066, it will tell
you what the mouse pointers are doing and how to turn them off. The direct
link for this is http://gwmicro.com/kb1066.

Hope this helps, and please write back if you still have questions.

Hello fellow Gw Micro customers and Window-eyes users, I've just
installed my new copy of Window-eyes 6.1. However, there are a few

things, to which I've noticed right away in version 6.1 that I don't
like, and would like to change, if possible. First, Window-eyes now

says "app starting" whenever something pops up on my screen
automatically. I'd prefer not to hear this message. How do I turn this

off? Secondly, I've noticed that when I'm in a list of options, such
as a tree view, Window-eyes no longer says tree view, nor is it

telling me how many options are in the list. For example, When I'm in
my list of emails, normally, Window-eyes gives me information about

the email, such as the date it came in, and the subject line to which
the sender used, and then it goes on to tell me which message I'm on,

and how many messages are in the list. For example, 1 of 36, 2 of 36, 3 of
36 ETC.

Also, in previous versions of Window-eyes, whenever we wanted to
change the pitch, rate, volume, or tone of all the voices at once, we

could do so on the fly, simply by holding down the numpad insert key,
and use the four arrows, that look like an upside down letter (T) to

change each parameter separately, or change them altogether. It seems
that in Window-eyes 6.1, we can no longer do that. How do I change

voice parameters on the fly, without having to go into the Window-eyes
control pannel each time? Window-eyes, now announces controls and

their names backwards. Well, at least, to me it does. For example,
instead of (button start,) it now says, (start button. It does this

for practically every button I encounter. I'd rather hear buttons
announced the other way around. How do I switch things back, so that

Window-eyes will say the name of the control first? Finally, there
appears to be something very strange with the Window-eyes control

pannel. When I press control backslash to bring it up, and press the
alt key for the file menu and

(L) to go into global, I now hear Window-eyes say something like
"beginner level 1." What happened to the global menu? I've never seen

Window-eyes like this. I can't make heads or tails of it. Everything
appears to be moved around, and I'd like to setup 6.1, so that it

opporates more like the old Window-eyes. I hope you'll forgive the
long

post: I'm not complaining, Its just that Window-eyes 6.1, looks quite
different from what I expected. If you need me to clairify anything as

to what I'm trying to get Window-eyes to do, you can write to me off list.
