The only things we're going to talk about >will be what we have included in our new Guess What series, which >will continue daily up to the beta release date, October 16, 2006. >We will answer all questions at that time. Please be patient; you >will be rewarded. > >If you're subscribed to the GW Micro or Guess What podcast feed, >you'll automatically receive this Guess What in MP3 format.

I'm going to >launch Internet Explorer 7 now. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >As you can hear, Window-Eyes Browse Mode kicks in automatically when >Internet Explorer 7 is opened, just like it does in Internet Explorer 6. > >If you're familiar with tabbed browsing in Firefox, you'll be right >at home with the tab features of Internet Explorer 7. I'm going to >press CTRL-T to open up a new, blank tab. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >I'm placed in the address edit box where I can type the web address >of the page I want to open in the new tab. I'm going to enter >Google's web address, and press ENTER. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >Window-Eyes loads the page into the Browse Mode buffer, just like >the page was opened in its own window. Using the CTRL-# hot keys, I >can move back and forth between the open tabs. I'm going to press >CTRL-1 to get back to my first tab, the GW Micro web page. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >Now I'm going to press CTRL-2 to select the tab containing Google's web page. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >Internet Explorer 7 includes a quick way to view a list of all open >tabs called Quick Tabs. I'm going to open up Quick Tabs with CTRL-Q. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >I can now arrow between the tabs that I have open, and press ENTER >on the one I want to view. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >Internet Explorer 7 also provides security alerts for suspicious >activity. Sites flagged as phishing web sites, and sites that use >special characters in their domain names, could be harmful, so >Internet Explorer 7 warns if you visit these types of web pages. You >will also be notified when you visit a secure site whose credentials >do not match the site's security certificate. > >Phishing websites (that's p h i s h i n g) try to trick you into >providing confidential information using various scams, such as >mimicking well known web sites. Let's listen to what Internet >Explorer 7 says when a phishing site is accessed. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >You can hear any security warning again by pressing the Speak >Summary hot key (CTRL-SHIFT-S by default) or the Status Line hot key >(CTRL-INS-S by default). > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >RSS feeds have become a popular way to distribute anything from news >headlines to podcast audio files. When a web page contains RSS >feeds, Internet Explorer 7 provides a way of viewing all available >feeds simply by pressing ALT-J. The GW Micro web page has several >feeds that help demonstrate this feature. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >Thanks to a close partnership between GW Micro and Microsoft, Browse >Mode performance has been increased across the board in all >supported versions of Internet Explorer. In addition, Microsoft has >boosted Internet Explorer 7 performance substantially, and >Window-Eyes happily takes advantage of this speed increase. > >After reading through several GW-Info email messages this morning, >regarding the functionality of Skype with Window-Eyes, I thought now >would be a good time to talk about one of the new enhancements of >Window-Eyes 6.0 that doesn't have to do with a Microsoft product. >I'm talking, of course, about Skype. > >Although Window-Eyes support for Skype currently allows for decent >functionality of the voice chat client, we wanted to do more to make >it an even better experience. > >I'm running the latest public beta of Skype 2.6, and I'm going to >demonstrate some of the more commonly used features that now work >nicely with Window-Eyes. > >We'll start with the menu system. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >As you can hear, both the top level menu items, and all sub menu >items are reading perfectly. Now let's move on to the contact list. >I'm going to arrow through the contacts I have. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >Not only is the contact list speaking great, but so is the context >menu for the selected contact. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >I'm going to choose the Send Contacts option, and select two >contacts to send to my selected contact. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >As you can hear, all of the controls in this dialog are speaking as >expected. I'm going to cancel out of this dialog, and get back into >my contact list. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >The Skype 2.6 contact list has a few tabs across the top for >selecting the Dial feature, Live feature, or the History tab. >Window-Eyes now reads these automatically when pressing CTRL-TAB to >move through the options. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >Even the history list is speaking great. > ><Window-Eyes Speech> > >We hope today's "Guess What?" has given you a glimpse into the power >of Window-Eyes 6.0 Beta 1, and its powerful support for Internet >Explorer 7, and new enhancements for Skype. We have a lot more in >store, including some great new features for beginner users, so stay >tuned for tomorrow's "Guess What?" to learn more about Window-Eyes 6.0 Beta 1.
