Tom and folks, While this is the same version of Window-Eyes, if the poster to this thread asking if a mobile version of Window-Eyes can be made has grabbed the software download of the current release or any future version, then the answer to making a mobile program is no. If you look at the GWMicro catalog page, http://www.GwMicro.com/catalog, you can order a CD of WindowEyesForOffice for 20 dollars (US price only). Also, be aware that the catalog page for the CD makes it clear that all sales of this product are final and that no returns are allowed. Getting the CD version of WindowEyesForOffice in the mail, will allow you to run the mobile Window-Eyes installer that your used to running for mobile installations if that's truly what the person who asked about making mobile versions wishes to do. However, I strongly suggest that the poster of that mobile Window-Eyes creation question goes back to the Town Hall meeting recordings and listens to both parts. Also if anybody is still confused I'll just repeat what Tom and others as well as GW Micro staff have repeated continuesly since the launch of this offer, that being that Their is no rreal difference (beyond five) differences between the retail and WindowEyesForOffice offer, all of which are documented clearly here: http://www.windoweyesforoffice.com/FAQ/ As you can see, all of those differences are easily resolved by buying the synthesizers you wish, and by obtaining a GW Connect Activation from the GWMicro catalog, amongst other things. The FAQ is well written, and I strongly encourage everybody who has not read it to do so, so as to avoid a repeat of repetitive already-documented-questions going around on the GW-Info mailing list regarding this offer. Besides. If I don't tel you folks to read the FAQ a hundred times over, Tom, Aaron Smith, Doug, Dan, and others will just point you folks at the FAQ anyways ultimately, unless your support questions are about WindowEyesForOffice installations. Just remember that Office is the way this offer runs without needing to reboot your machine, and that beyond the five differences, their are no differences in functionality, features, update downloads for new versions of Window-Eyes, or anything else. One of the differences in the FAQ document is also the technical support. You'll have to pay for support that falls outside of the installation related questions. I think that's a very fare thing to do, though, and this is more than likely partly at least, why this offer is free. Time is money, that's a saying you'll hear a lot, and whenever you buy the retail version of Window-Eyes, your not just paying for the right to run it in an unrestricted form, but also paying for unlimited technical support as part of the $895 price. By stripping out technical support for common things beyond installation related questions since GW Micro has a great selection of tutorials, manuals and so on with the WindowEyesForOffice offer unless you pay for it, this helps to give Window-Eyes to those who never could have had it previously, and as of now, just so the rest of you know, this offer replaces the GWMicro Window-Eyes payment plan program. This will treuly put Window-Eyes into the hands of computer users worldwide for sure, and I'd like to just take a moment to write here as well, and say thank you to Dan, Doug, Aaron Smith, and all the others at Gw Micro who have partnered with Microsoft over the last many months to make this truly a ground-breaking breakthrough in commercial screen reader assistive technology that until now, has truly been unavailable to many folks worldwide for sure. I think this will give folks who have always wanted to get their hands on Window-Eyes but who couldn't afford to throw out $895 for the program a great way to use their computers. I thought I'd just point out something else, that not everybody may be aware of, but if your PC doesn't come with Office, or if you've done a custom Windows install (as I tend to do all the time), then you can easily get your hands on a full copy of Office if you have an Amazon.com account. The Home and business version of Office 2013 (single user, one PC license), can easily be obtained here: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-Business-2013-Download/dp/B00B1TGMIS Their are download instructions on that page, as well as pricing. I believe it's only $219 to afford Office fully through Amazon if you don't already have it, and need it for running WindowEyesForOffice. Just thought that would help people who don't have Office easily get their hands on it. And if you don't have $219, well, then, start saving dollars. Grin. Hopefully this helps enable those PC users who don't have Office obtain a copy for use with WindowEyesForOffice. For people wanting to run Office on multiple PCS I'm sure the price goes way up, and that's beginning to get off topic, but if all you need is Office for one machine, then their you go. Thanks again to GW Micro for making this available.
