>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
>GW Micro, Inc. Announces SocialEyes
>Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 3, 2013) - GW Micro, Inc. ( www.gwmicro.com
>) is proud to announce SocialEyes, an application for Windows-based 
>PCs that provides access to Facebook via a consistent, keyboard 
>friendly and fully accessible user interface.
>While Facebook is committed to enhancing the accessibility of the 
>Facebook website, screen reader users often find navigating the 
>default interface overwhelming and cumbersome. Using standard and 
>common controls, SocialEyes brings a fresh, streamlined and easy to 
>use interface to the Facebook social networking platform.
>SocialEyes offers Facebook users the ability to access their 
>newsfeed, read comments, create comments, like posts, search for 
>events, pages, friends, groups, and more.
>Users can also read notifications, messages, chat with their 
>friends, write on timelines, manage friend requests, and access 
>event information. SocialEyes even has the ability to attach links, 
>photos, or video to status updates.
>SocialEyes also provides additional features, such as custom 
>notification sounds, and message filtering, all designed to help you 
>stay in touch with all of your Facebook friends.
>SocialEyes is compatible with Window-Eyes and other popular screen 
>readers.  Low vision users may also benefit from SocialEyes by using 
>it with a screen magnifier, such as ZoomText.
>A SocialEyes annual subscription can be purchased for $50, but for a 
>limited time, you can get an annual subscription for only $25. 
>SocialEyes will be made available for purchase soon, and pre-orders 
>are now being accepted by GW Micro. You can pre-order SocialEyes 
>today by calling GW Micro at (260) 489-3671.
