New in GuideConnect 1.26
NEW: Search the Settings list
A new search field has been added to the Settings menu in GuideConnect 1.26. This makes it really easy for people using GuideConnect to find the settings they need. It also enables GuideConnect users to change any of the settings from the main settings screen without the need to enter any sub-menus.
To use this new feature, open the Settings menu and the search field is now at the top of the settings list. Simply type (or dictate) a search term into the search field and GuideConnect will list all relevant settings. For example, type ‘Voice’ for a list of all of the options related to voice settings.
Print Preview available in Documents
A new option for ‘Print preview’ has been added to the Print menu. This option enables people using GuideConnect to view their document exactly how it will be printed, before deciding to print it.
In Print Preview, users can also zoom in and out using the F11 and F12 keys, and choose to print the document using the Actions menu.
Additional fixes and improvements
The update to 1.26 also includes fixes and improvements for emails, notifications, speech, websites, voice input, podcasts and more.
