That's great news! I've been using braille displays and/or notetakers with
WindowEyes and Duxbury for years. I don't know how anyone can proofread
anything with speech alone.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GW Micro and Duxbury Systems Announce New Collaboration: Unparalleled
Access to DBT and Perky Duck with Window-Eyes
GW Micro and Duxbury Systems are proud to announce a collaboration that
provides unparalleled access to Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) and Perky
Duck using Window-Eyes.
In response to requests from Braille proofreaders to have better access to
DBT with speech, GW Micro and Duxbury Systems worked together to create
the best possible screen reader access to both DBT and Perky Duck with
Window-Eyes.
"When translating documents with just speech, I was never able to tell
exactly what characters were in the translated document. With the new
Window-Eyes App for DBT, I can hear everything I need all of the time,"
said Raul Gallegos, Technical Support Specialist for GW Micro. Gallegos
is responsible for translating and proofreading all of GW Micro's Braille
documents.
"This new Window-Eyes App provides superior speech access to our product
line," said Neal Kuniansky, Director of Sales and Marketing for Duxbury
Systems. "We are very happy to work with GW Micro so that Window-Eyes can
enhance our products for Braille translation for visually impaired
consumers." In the latest edition, DBT will detect if you are running
Window-Eyes. If it determines you are running Window-Eyes, DBT will
prompt you to download the latest Window-Eyes App. The App will speak
translated Braille codes when in a translated document as well as read
styles such as headings and tables. Window-Eyes 7.5 will ship with the
App installed, allowing all DBT and Perky Duck users to take advantage of
all of the new accessibility enhancements right out-of-the-box.
Window-Eyes customers can download and install the App for free from GW
Micro's App Central, located at http://www.gwmicro.com/ac. "We are
committed to innovating new technologies for the blind and visually
impaired," said Doug Geoffray, Vice President of Development and Product
Support for GW Micro. "This collaboration with Duxbury Systems is yet
another step forward making Window-Eyes the best screen reader choice for
visually impaired people."
GW Micro has been a trusted pioneer in the adaptive technology industry
since 1990, and continues to lead with innovative, customer driven
solutions.
Duxbury Systems has been producing leading software for Braille around the
world since 1975. The Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) and MegaDots, are
used by virtually all of the world's leading braille publishers.
