FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GW Micro and Duxbury Systems Announce New Collaboration: Unparalleled
Access to DBT and Perky Duck with Window-Eyes
GW Micro and Duxbury Systems are proud to announce a collaboration
that provides unparalleled access to Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT)
and Perky Duck using Window-Eyes.
In response to requests from Braille proofreaders to have better
access to DBT with speech, GW Micro and Duxbury Systems worked
together to create  the best possible screen reader access to both
DBT and Perky Duck with Window-Eyes.
"When translating documents with just speech, I was never able to
tell exactly what characters were in the translated document.  With
the new Window-Eyes App for DBT, I can hear everything I need all of
the time," said Raul Gallegos, Technical Support Specialist for GW
Micro.  Gallegos is responsible for translating and proofreading all
of GW Micro's Braille documents.
"This new Window-Eyes App provides superior speech access to our
product line," said Neal Kuniansky, Director of Sales and Marketing
for Duxbury Systems.  "We are very happy to work with GW Micro so
that Window-Eyes can enhance our products for Braille translation for
visually impaired consumers."  In the latest edition, DBT will detect
if you are running Window-Eyes.  If it determines you are running
Window-Eyes, DBT will prompt you to download the latest Window-Eyes
App.  The App will speak translated Braille codes when in a
translated document as well as read styles such as headings and
tables.  Window-Eyes 7.5 will ship with the App installed, allowing
all DBT and Perky Duck users to take advantage of all of the new
accessibility enhancements right out-of-the-box.
Window-Eyes customers can download and install the App for free from
GW Micro's App Central, located at
<http://www.gwmicro.com/ac>http://www.gwmicro.com/ac.  "We are
committed to innovating new technologies for the blind and visually
impaired," said Doug Geoffray, Vice President of Development and
Product Support for GW Micro.  "This collaboration with Duxbury
Systems is yet another step forward making Window-Eyes the best
screen reader choice for visually impaired people."
GW Micro has been a trusted pioneer in the adaptive technology
industry since 1990, and continues to lead with innovative, customer
driven solutions.
Duxbury Systems leads the world in software for Braille. The Duxbury
Braille Translator (DBT) and MegaDots, are used by virtually all of
the world's leading braille publishers.
