( www.gwmicro.com) is proud to make a revolutionary announcement. GW Micro and Microsoft Corp. have partnered to make Window-Eyes available to users of Microsoft Office at no cost. Window-Eyes is a screen reader that enables people who are blind, visually impaired, or print disabled to have full access to Windows PCs and makes the computer accessible via speech and/or Braille. To better deliver Window-Eyes to the people who need it most, GW Micro and Microsoft have collaborated on this global initiative, available in over 15 languages, to enable anyone using Microsoft Office 2010 or later to also use Window-Eyes for free. Access to technology is critical to people who are blind or visually impaired in order to have the same opportunity to compete in the workplace. As such, this initiative between GW Micro and Microsoft has the potential to reduce barriers for millions of people who are blind or visually impaired around the world. As the population ages, technologies like Window-Eyes will become more and more important as the number of people with age-related macular degeneration and other retinal degenerative diseases increases. This significant change in the way we are doing business reflects the changing perception of accessibility and also technology in general. Rather than wait for the world to change, Microsoft and GW Micro are leading the way, said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GW Micro. Weirich believes this technology can help millions o! f people gain access to their PC, and that providing it free of charge will open a whole new world of assistive technology to many people. In light of the rapidly changing face of technology and specifically, the changing face of assistive technology, the combined efforts of GW Micro and Microsoft have the goal of providing accessibility to people who are blind and visually impaired for the long term. Microsoft continues to take accessibility seriously. By partnering with GW Micro in this endeavor we are demonstrating Microsoft's ongoing commitment to provide all of our customers with the technology and tools to help each person be productive in both their work and personal lives. said Rob Sinclair, Chief

As such, this initiative between GW Micro and Microsoft has the potential to reduce barriers for millions of people who are blind or visually impaired around the world.

Re: [AI] WindowEyes now free for Microsoft Office users
The only dampner is that it needs to be used with either the default Microsoft TTS or eSpeak. If you want Eloquence or Vocalizer then you need to purchase them separately. The TTS on Windows 7 8 is pretty good. There are no licensing hassels, just download window eyes and if you have a valid office 2010 or above license, it will work in full version. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Amiyo Biswas Sent: 15 January 2014 08:53 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issuesconcerning the disabled.

Re: [AI] WindowEyes now free for Microsoft Office users
WindowEyes used to come with DecTalk didn't it? Does it come with this package as well? Or do we have to purchase that as well? If so, how much does it cost?
