Hi David, Regarding "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", this functionality already exists. If memory serves, we added this in version 8 when we started adding UIA support. Since the video intercept doesn't install, you will not get anything from the OSM, but other items will still read.
Hope this helps and thanks to everyone for all of the feedback. Even if we do not respond to each request, be assured that we are reading all of these responses.

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.
