ACAT Release 0.99

This is a binary-only pre-release. Please report any issues/problems and also provide feedback before the official release.

Release notes

Localization

ACAT can now be extended to other languages. English and French versions are included in this release.

  1. Text in all the ACAT scanners, menus and dialogs are now localized. Word prediction results are displayed in the selected language as well.
  2. Customized Alphabet scanner for the selected language which includes scanners for special characters.
  3. Ability to switch between languages from within the ACAT App.
  4. Language extensions available as ACAT Language Packs which can be separately downloaded and installed.

ACAT Vision

  1. ACAT Vision not a standalone EXE anymore. It is now integrated with ACAT as an extension. TCP/IP is no longer used to communicate with ACAT Vision. This should eliminate problems some users were facing with blocked TCP ports.
  2. A more seamless interaction through appropriate visual feedback to the user.
  3. Migrated to 32-bit. Will run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OS’s.
  4. Ability to select the preferred camera if multiple cameras are present
  5. Ability to select the preferred facial gesture that will act as the switch trigger.

UI

  1. Additional Alphabet scanner layouts and scanning sequences designed towards making typing more efficient.
  2. A new ACAT Dashboard application to launch all the different variations of ACAT App and ACAT Talk app. Shortcuts to the preferred ACAT Apps can be selectively created on the desktop.
  3. A new ACAT Config application (non-assistive) for direct control of a host of ACAT settings which are not available through the Settings menu in ACAT App.
  4. ACAT Talk App now directly accessible from within the ACAT Application.

Other

  1. Support added for MS Word 2013 and Outlook 2013.
