You know, I think that the thing with YouTube is not a Firefox issue or a WE
issue. I think it is s site issue, because I use IE and Youtube does the
same thing to me.

That's odd. THe only site where the refresh is even remotely a problem for
me is on YouTube and occasionally MySpace. Other than that it works just
fine.

Let me clarify my concerns about browse mode that seems to have ruffled
some
feathers on this fine day.
I too have been a WE user since version 1.1 I think it was and would
never
consider switching to any other screen reader. There is no other screen
reader on the market that offers better support than GW and maybe that is
my
point.
For me surfing the net is probably one of my main uses of the computer.
So
in my case a broken browse mode and problems related to this function is
of
more concern to me in my useage of WE than other functions that concern
other users.
So please understand I am not bashing WE or GW just expressing my
concerns
about a part of WE that effects my primary usage of WE.
So I will say it again, Keep up the great work GW but get this browse
mode
fixed.

Amen to all that! I've been a WE user since it first came out and
wouldn't
change for the world! I am very disappointed that libraries only have
JAWS
if anything at all! They don't order WE for patrons and our central
library
teaches classes and uses only JFW. How sad is that??

I agree. I was a staunch JFW user until about three years ago when I
discovered that te latest version of JFW wouldn't read PDF documents
correctly without some modification to a setting in Adobe Acrobat or even
JFW itself. I need hardly point out that when I discovered that
Window-Eyes
reads them correctly right out of the box the decision to switch was
easy.
And since GW offers two payment plans it was easy for me to buy it
despite
being unemployed. So the fact that the Commission for the Blind wouldn't
pay

for it didn't matter. Needless to say though Browse Mode gets refreshed a
lot on sites like Youtube and though this is slightly inconvenient I'm
more
than willing to wait for the problem to be fixed if such a solution can
be
found. I like that GW doesn't rush their updates the way other companies
seem to. I've had folks tell me that the reason they rush is because they
have more customers, but I can't help wondering if that would continue to
be

treu if the schools and agencies who have contracts with the competition
actually informed their clients that there were indeed other options
available.

Raul my sympathies go out to you and the rest of the GW staff as well.
Window Eyes isn't perfect but it is sure excelent and Window Eyes
offers more value and more enhancements compared to other screen
readers. One of these enhancements is Script Central. If browse mode
is bothering people so much can't they write a script for it until GW
comes out with a new update? Honestly in my experience Window Eyes has
been the best screen reader I've ever used. I just wish more schools
and companies would use it rather than the competition. Thanks for
doing the great work you are doing.

Hello all, quite honestly I sometimes wish nothing was ever said about
rewriting browse mode. Why? Because it's frustrating when every time
there

is a problem with an application which uses browse mode doesn't work
quite

right, we get beaten over the head with that statement. This is a
perfect
example why some companies choose to never let on what is coming in
next
releases. Not only that, but when browse mode rewriting was mentioned,
we
didn't know what all other programs and other things would need our
attention. How thoughtless of us to try and keep Window-Eyes stable
and
up-to-date in other areas. I personally like that we keep our
customers
informed about what is going on, but at the same time, this has a
double-edge in that it comes back to bite us when we don't deliver the
day

it's mentioned either.

Many thanks.

It is coming up on two years since GW has had a major release of
WE.
It is long over due for the new browse mode which I hope fixes such
problems.

It is sure not getting any better. GwMicro needs to fix their own
problems. How is it that NVDA is free and works better with firefox?
I
am not sure what are we paying all that money for? If this keeps up I
will think about switching to System Access. Serotek listens to their
customers needs and improves the product.

Thank You

Hi, I know I certainly find it more refreshing...Especially on a
hot
day
like today. Just install the lemonaid theme and it makes for a
refreshing experience.

Cheers!
