Yes, having a built in Dictionary and Thesaurus would be very
nice. I bought a Dictionary to use, and it works, but not all that
great, and I need to put the CD in the Drive all the time.
And as someone stated already, this would not be a Screen Reader
requirement, but having such a program at hand would be a nice addition.

Here are my ideas/requests for possible Window-Eyes enhancements.
1. The ability to run Window-Eyes completely off of a thumb drive
without the need to install drivers onto the host system. (If this
is already possible, please let me know.
2. An offline dictionary with thesaurus. I realize that some people
will passionately disagree with this request by saying that this is
not a screen-reader specific feature and that we have many online
options for word definitions and synonyms. These statements are all
true and so there's no need to debate that. However, this is
something that would still make Window-Eyes not only useful but
unique as I don't believe this is available in other Windows screen
readers. This could be an optional component to be installed and,
like the Mac, could be globally available, even without an Internet
connection. I could envision being in a Word document or a Web page,
placing the cursor on a word without the need to highlight it first
and being able to look up definitions and such with the press of a
hotkey. Again, perhaps this is hardly necessary but it would make
Window-Eyes stand out from the competition.
3. The ability to enter BIOs/Uefi settings and have them accessible.
Maybe it's not possible. However, some might have concluded that
screen readers would never be able to talk in safe mode and
Window-Eyes can offer that capability, which is one of the things
which makes it truly unique and which makes it stand apart from its
competition. If AI Squared could offer this feature you'd be able to
do this even more.
And if I may sneak in a fourth idea ...
4. Could we please have built-in voices from other text-to-speech
vendors, such as Ivona or A Capella? This is totally irrational but
as much as I don't mind Samantha on my iPhone I don't care for her
as much on my Windows PC and I'd like to see some additional alternatives.
Thanks for asking for our input.

Hello Everyone,
We are constantly working behind the scenes to improve our
products. If you could narrow down the top three requests you
would have us add to our screen reading product, what would they be?
Thanks for the input!
