Well, of course it's safe to use. I'm not sure why
anyone would think it wouldn't be safe?
Just keep in mind that if you use the free version, office has to be
installed. If it isn't, the free Window-eyes will fail to start.
If you're talking about safety with regards to updates to the software,
that unfortunately ended today.
9.5.4.0 is the final version of Window-eyes, and won't be updated going
forward. the only way to get a full version of JAWS is to actually
purchase it outright, and in that case I'd say get yourself a copy of
NVDA, which is free, and will work really well.
The above assumes that you're only using the free version. If you're a
paid user of Window-eyes and have remaining counts on your SMA, you can
fill out a form that will entitle you to a free copy of JAWS 18. You
can essentially cash in your SMA counts for a version of JAWS that is
brand new and will be updated going forward.
I hope that helps.

Hi again everyone.
For any of you who have ever tried it, is the free Window-eyes for office
version 9.5.40 safe to use? I know they won't be upgrading it anymore being
that window-eyes has been discontinued, but at least its free and for those
of us who wish to can still at least have a working copy of Window-eyes that
actually works, for the time being, until we're forced to use something
else.
