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.
