"Seeing Eye Computer" will verbally announce the caller on incoming calls that have caller ID information.
The program also has callback and call blocking features.
Verbal messages can be tailored for your favorite callers. This includes "out of area" calls where the caller's name is not available.
The program comes with a phone book to keep track of and dial your favorite numbers. Like all good but not great programs, "Seeing Eye Computer" has an uninstall program.
The Email Checker works in the same way as the caller ID. If you use it, it will check for new email at specified time intervals. If it finds a new message, it will announce the sender and (if you want) read the subject line.
EZreader is a simple little routine to read text aloud in nearly any window.
It's this easy to work:
Click on "Read Text" in the Settings menu.
Highlight the text you would like read in any window, email letter, web page...
Click the > button in the EZreader to start reading.
DynaWares' Seeing Eye Computer:
This program is identical to "DynaWares' Seeing Eye Computer except that it recognizes Voice Commands.
You will NOT have to register again for these versions.
The Reason this is only a preview version is that the Help File and "what's this" Help is not Completed! To add your Voice Commands click on "Edit Voice Commands" in the popup menu. You will see something like this:
First, click the "Add" button to add a new command.
Next, enter the command you wish to speak.
Then"Drag and Drop" the program's name from Windows Explorer.
If you wish you can enter a word or phrase you would like the computer to say.
Click "OK" and the program should be able to recognize the command.
There is also a verbal "Standby" mode.
Sending text strings (sendkeys) is just as easy.
This program also has a Screen Saver that will let you know if the program is listening for verbal commands ad if it monitoring Caller ID information.
Seeing Eye Computer was written to support CLASS protocol. This "should" work anywhere in North America.
The United Kingdom uses CLI protocol, from what I can determine "Seeing Eye Computer" will work here, but it may always anounce the phone number as well as the Caller's name.
In Japan CLIP protocol is used. I can't find out anything about it so I just don't know how it will work.
When (if they aren't yet) Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands support CallerID The CLI protocol will be used. I would expect it to work the same as in the United Kingdom.
If anyone can provide me with more information on CLI and CLIP protocols I would be able to start making sure "Seeing Eye Computer" supports them. I would also greatly appreciate the information.
