You can always find these messages on gwmicro.com/news. It was just a
fluke. No big deal.

Well, I am using Outlook Express, under WinXP here. When opening
the message from Jeremy, it shows up as empty. If I try to save
it, I am not even offered the chance of saving it as a text
document, as I would with any other messages in my inbox. The only
two formats OE will let me save this one particular message, is
either .eml or .htm format. Neither of these gave any readable
result either.
Interesting for GW to send out a message, that so clearly brought
out a lack in their own screen reader. As a reminder, maybe a good
idea for them to proofread their messages with WE, before pressing
the Send button. Definitely, something is wrong in the cooperation
between Window-Eyes and this message. Don't know, if that was a
test from GW of how it works with some kind of html coding, but in
such case, let me just tell you 'It Did Not Work'.

Yes, there is something odd about this post when reading it in
outlook 2003; outlook does say it's completely empty until I
converted it to plain text; then it was quite readable.
I'd say there' s something about the html used which prevents
WE from reading it.

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
GW Micro Announces Readit Wand: First Portable Camera Reading
System to Support Touchscreen for People with Low Vision*
Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 8, 2011) - GW Micro, Inc.
(www.gwmicro.com <../../>) and VisionAid International Ltd
(www.visionaid-international.com
<http://www.visionaid-international/>) are proud to announce
the Readit Wand!The Readit Wand is a portable camera that
connects to a computer to instantly magnify and read documents
for the visually impaired.
Easily read mail, bills, bank statements, books, and more with
ease using the Readit Wand. Everything read with the Readit
Wand will be read in a clear, human-sounding voice. The
ability to read all of these items makes Readit Wand the
perfect tool for the classroom, at home, or at work.
The camera weighs just 1.1 pounds and easily connects via
USB.The 5-megapixel camera is highly accurate and extremely
fast, allowing for recognition in as little as two seconds.The
stylish and compact Readit Wand allows for automatic
multi-language switching when other languages are
installed.The portability and multiple language support make
it the ideal tool for students who are learning a foreign
language.
Readit Wand comes with exceptionally powerful software that
allows you to save, load, import, and export documents,
including PDFs. Importing PDF files into the Readit software
enables users to read PDF files that originally are
inaccessible because they are displayed as graphics. Readit
Wand also allows you to save documents as a Word document, txt
file, rtf, or even save your document as an MP3 file to listen
to it on your favorite MP3 player.
The Readit Wand software contains an easy to use, easy access
toolbar designed specifically for low vision users.The toolbar
provides the ability to adjust the size of the clear, colorful
icons, which give instant access to all the basic controls
enabling low vision users to capture their document, change
the view to their preference and more at the click of a button.
Low vision consumers will greatly benefit from the 3 different
types of highlights, as well as six different ways to display
text, allowing low vision users to customize the software to
their personal preference.
When connected to a touchscreen monitor, the Readit Wand is
the first portable camera to enable touchscreen support,
allowing low vision users the ability to interact with the
software by simply using their fingers!This means no more
tracking the cursor, which provides direct interaction between
the user and the Readit software, creating the best possible
user experience.

Wand in the U.S., developed and manufactured by VisionAid
International, located in the UK.Readit Wand will be available
