flat out they do not know what they are talking about.
they must of been sleeping through the whole Webinar
listen to the Webinar podcast for yourself. from the gwmicro site. nowhere
in the podcast did they say it only worked with ms office.
it works exactly the same as the full version.
you just have to pay for full technical support and for any of the other
voices gwmicro has for sail. if you have already purchased there voices the
license will still enable the voices with the ms office version.
they still give support for installation problems. or get support from the
gw-info or gwmicro-app lists.

Yesterday, at a tech-user's meeting in NH, the Win-Eyes version that is
available with MS-Office was discussed, and we were told that it does not
work
in all programs, only within the Office suite, and, for example, it does
not
work when using Notepad or Wordpad, for instance. I would really like to
know
if this is true. I am a long-time Win-Eyes user, and of course, spoke up
for my
Win-Eyes, but we are definitely in the minority up here, so I was quickly
squelched. I was told they had sat in and asked questions at the Webinar
led by
GW and had pinned them down on this point. So, GW, is this true? If I
bought a
new computer with an acceptable version of Office on it, would I discover
that I
had no speech as soon as I brought up Wordpad or Notepad, or How about in
Windows Explorer!? This surely does not fit my first impression of this
Microsoft/GW offer. It wouldn't affect me; I'll probably always pay for
my
copy, because I like Win-Eyes, and believe in supporting the company
producing
it, but I'd like to know my facts when I open my mouth and put my foot in
it!
