Hi
Window-Eyes can be used across the board, just that so long as Office
2010 or later is installed you can use Window-Eyes minus the 30 minute
demonstration mode, in other words you can use a fully functional copy
of Window-Eyes to be used across the board just by installing Office
2010 or later on your system.
Regards Chris

question?
granted I am not now nor have I ever been a windows user. still if I
follow this, you can use windoweyes, for one piece of software? just
what happens if after you download the single ticket for office, and
try to use the program for something else?
Allowing it to work with only one piece of software in no way to my mind
translates into built in speech. That means one thing, you turn on an
item and find if you require it, speech across the board. Either that
or you turn on the program as an extra and find speech across the
board. No less at least to me.

Wow, Well, this is officially O/T I guess, but I couldn't help
laughing at this. I had been a loyal window-eyes user on the windows
side, but have switched to NVDA full time now because of better UIA
support, better access to flash and other dynamic content, better
braille support, and touch screen support which window-eyes has not at
all. There hasn't been a revolutionary development in the window-eyes
world in 5 years or more since they introduced open scripting in
version 7.
Leading the way is pure propaganda at this point, but I guess doug and
Dan have well stocked RRSP's at this point and don't really have to
giddyup these days.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Wayne, Indiana (January 14, 2014) - GW Micro, Inc.
(www.gwmicro.com) is proud
to make a revolutionary announcement. GW Micro and Microsoft Corp.
have partnered
to make Window-Eyes available to users of Microsoft Office at no
cost. Window-Eyes
is a screen reader that enables people who are blind, visually
impaired, or print
disabled to have full access to Windows PCs and makes the computer
accessible via
speech and/or Braille.
To better deliver Window-Eyes to the people who need it most, GW
Micro and Microsoft
have collaborated on this global initiative, available in over 15
languages, to enable
anyone using Microsoft Office 2010 or later to also use Window-Eyes
for free.
Access to technology is critical to people who are blind or visually
impaired in
order to have the same opportunity to compete in the workplace. As
such, this initiative
between GW Micro and Microsoft has the potential to reduce barriers
for millions
of people who are blind or visually impaired around the world.
As the population ages, technologies like Window-Eyes will become
more and more important
as the number of people with age-related macular degeneration and
other retinal degenerative
diseases increases. "
This significant change in the way we are doing business reflects the
changing perception
of accessibility and also technology in general.
Rather than wait for the world to change, Microsoft and GW Micro
are leading the
way
," said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GW Micro.
Weirich believes this technology can help millions of people gain
access to their
PC, and that providing it free of charge will open a whole new world
of assistive
technology to many people.
In light of the rapidly changing face of technology and specifically,
the changing
face of assistive technology, the combined efforts of GW Micro and
Microsoft have
the goal of providing accessibility to people who are blind and
visually impaired
for the long term.
Microsoft continues to take accessibility seriously.
“By partnering with GW Micro in this endeavor we are demonstrating
Microsoft’s ongoing
commitment to provide all of our customers with the technology and
tools to help
each person be productive in both their work and personal lives.”
said Rob Sinclair, Chief Accessibility Officer for Microsoft.
Eligible customers, using Microsoft Office 2010 or higher, will be
able to download
a full version of Window-Eyes starting today at
www.WindowEyesForOffice.com
.
The website provides download instructions as well as additional
details about this
offer.
GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com) has been a trusted pioneer in the
adaptive technology
industry since 1990, and continues to lead with innovative, customer
driven solutions.
