WebbIE 4 WebbIE lets you browse web pages, search the web, fill in forms, do ecommerce, and use online email, all in a highly-usable text-only display that works with any screenreader.

Getting WebbIE

WebbIE is free. You can get it from the link below. You have to run the setup.exe file that you get from the link, and everything will be installed for you. You will then have a desktop shortcut called "WebbIE" you can use to start the program. You can also find "WebbIE" in your Start menu.

• Installer for WebbIE Web Browser 4 Run this setup.exe file to install WebbIE Web Browser. Note that if you have installed the Beta already (before 6 January 2013) you will have to uninstall this first from Add/Remove Programs - sorry.

The current version is 4.3.1, released 28 March 2013.

Features

• Shows web pages as plain text so you can simply cursor around the page like you would a Word document. Much simpler than navigating complex tree-like web pages using a standard web browser. • Easy Google web search: enter your search, press return, and just cursor up and down the results. Fast and simple. • Support for forms, so you can use eCommerce and online shops and online email like GMail. • Jump quickly to headings and navigate around with single keystrokes. • List on a page and cursor around them to find out where you can go. • Quickly crop out the rubbish at the top of a page and scattered around the page, so you can get on with reading the page content without having to spend time finding it. • Access and add to your Favorites. • Works with any screenreader, including NVDA, Thunder, JAWS, WindowEyes, Hal, and the built-in Windows Narrator. • Change font size and font so you can make text big and readable for you. • Uses system colours so you can select yellow-on-black and high visibility schemes for maximum readability. • Handles Javascript and HTML5 features so the latest web pages have a chance of working. • Fully translated into a dozen languages and displays web pages written in any language. • Open RSS News Feeds for sites so you can quickly skip to the page you want.

Technical Details

• You need to be on Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista Service Pack 2, Windows 7 Service Pack 1, or Windows 8. 32- or 64-bit versions are all supported. Windows Rt is not supported. • The Microsoft .Net Framework 4 Client Version is required, but the installer should take care of all of that for you. • It's signed by Claro Software Ltd - thanks for their support. • If you need help, call me on +44 7983 244 131 or Skype me on Alasdairking. You can email [email protected] but you're unlikely to get a response: this isn't my day job!
