GW Micro Announces Window-Eyes 7.0
Many of you have been waiting to get your hands on Window-Eyes 7.0 with new scripting support. The wait is almost over. Today at CSUN, we officially announced our upgrade pricing for Window-Eyes 7.0. The upgrade price will be$175. This is a very small dollar amount for such a high value. If you haven't listened to the presentations given by Doug Geoffray on Main Menu andother shows or to the On The Move presentation by Jeremy Curry and Aaron Smith, then you are probably very curious as to what Window-Eyes 7.0 has in store for you. Window-Eyes 7.0 not only has numerous performance enhancements, but it also includes enhanced Braille support, better Browse Mode support, Unicode, scripting, and more. With enhanced Braille support, you can now look at an entire dialog on your Braille display without the need to scroll the Braille display, assuming that your Braille display has enough cells to fit the dialog. For example, if you have an 80-cell Braille display, you have the potential to see the text of the dialog, an OK button, and a Cancel button all without the need to scroll Braille. Better Browse Mode support allows you to keep track of places on a web page that you go to the most with place markers. So, if you enjoy a specific partof a web page at www.gwmicro.com[1], you can mark that spot and jump to it quickly each time you visit. And, if the page ever changes, you have the ability to easily find that same spot if it still exists. Other screen readers are not capable of this. The new version also gives you the ability to jump to specific controls, like buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, and more. Not only can you jump to a specific type of control, but you can jump directly to the controls you use the most. For example, if you need to go tothe third edit box on a web page each time you visit, you can jump directlyto the third edit box on the page without having to go through every edit box on the page. This is jus The new scripting features in Window-Eyes will open up a whole new world for Window-Eyes consumers. We are again breaking the mold, raising the bar, and creating new possibilities for blind and visually impaired people. The new scripting capability will allow Window-Eyes to be customized for applicationslike Skype, iTunes, and more. The best part is that any programmer who has knowledge of a computer language that uses COM Automation,then that programmer can write a script for Window-Eyes. Other screen readers use a proprietary language, and thus, have a limited number ofscripters. So, what does this all mean for you, the end user? It means there are more people to write more scripts to make more software applications accessible. The end result is that if you need immediate accessto an application, you no longer have to wait fo r the next version of Win As mentioned earlier, the price for the new upgrade will be $175. Since we are not yet taking orders for the new upgrade, now is the time to order an SMA for your current copy of Window-Eyes. The cost for an SMA is only $299, and it provides you with the next three major upgrades of Window-Eyes. If the next three upgrades are $175 per upgrade, buying an SMA now will save you$226! This will help ensure that you get 7.0 as soon as it is released. So, hurry and get your SMA before it's too late.
