Subject: [jawsscripts] Announcing 1.0 versions of FxMax and IEMax

After much development and beta testing, this is to announce the 
1.0
releases of FxMax and IEMax -- script sets that extend the 
functionality
of Firefox 3.x and Internet Explorer 7 and above.  The 
functionality is
almost the same in the two web browsers.

FxMax
http://EmpowermentZone.com/FxMax.exe

IEMax
http://EmpowermentZone.com/IEMax.exe

or .zip for a manual install

Note that Firefox is officially abbreviated Fx (second letter is 
lower
case), whereas Internet Explorer is abbreviated IE.

Recent changes:

Fixed SayLine.exe on Win64.  Added a web client utility called 
0Captcha,
which eliminates captcha barriers via solona.net.  Added 
Control+Shift+0 as
a command to launch this utility directly after saving an image 
of the
active window to disk.

Anyone can register for a free account at solona.net (the script 
will
prompt for your user name and password there).  The service 
solves
captchas via a human operator, so when one is available, it is 
more
reliable than an automated approach like the WebVism extension 
for
Firefox.  Human operators are not always available, but such down 
time has
been less and less.

Before pressing the Control+Shift+0 hotkey, I recommend turning 
on forms
mode and navigating to the input box for typing the text shown in 
the
captcha image.  This helps to ensure that image will be included 
in the
file that the script sends to solona.net.  To maximize your 
privacy, it is
best not to fill in any other fields of the web form before 
submitting the
image.  You can then fill in the other fields after pasting the 
captcha
solution that the script copies to the clipboard.  The script 
waits up to
90 seconds for a human operator to respond, checking every 10 
seconds
whether a solution is available.
