However, after 30 minutes, Window-Eyes will give a message every 15 seconds. Your machine will not lock up, but after 35 minutes Window-Eyes will no longer read information as it did. If you remove Window-Eyes from memory, you will have to leave Windows and restart it in order to rerun Window-Eyes. Things you should know about Window-Eyes 1.0 as of October 17, 1995: Hyperactive Windows The hyperactive windows do not work exactly as described in the Window-Eyes manual. If a new set file loads and the condition of a hyperactive window is true, the window will not trigger. If the condition becomes true after the set file is loaded, however, the window triggers as it should. If a hyperactive window loads a new set file, results are unpredictable. Voice Settings When adjusting settings in the Window-Eyes Voice Control Panel or saving the settings from the file menu of the Voice Control Panel, the rate of the voice may change. Leaving and reentering the Voice Control Panel usually puts the rate back to the desired level. Specific Applications In WordPerfect 6.0 and 6.1, buttons which resemble combo boxes do not speak the button name Some dialog options within Microsoft Office do not speak. AMI Pro is not compatible for the time being. Hardware: In order for mouse movement hot keys to work correctly, a mouse must physically be attached to your computer. Some color schemes do not work fully. Windows Default, The Blues, and Hot Dog Stand seem to work particularly well. Miscellaneous When read-to-end is aborted with ESCAPE, sometimes the ENTER key stops working for a bit. The any window hot key does not read the selected window. The read temporary window hot key does not read. If you launch a DOS box and then launch Window-Eyes, you must exit from the DOS box before exiting Windows. If the DOS box is launched after Window-Eyes, everything works as it should. Word mode is extremely sluggish. Turning off the screen voice turns off most speech. It should only silence speak windows. Microsoft Word may be somewhat sluggish on slower machines. We are working to correct the above problems and hope to have a new release soon. If you have a modem, you might like to download the corrections from our BBS for faster service.
