FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fort Wayne, Indiana (January 21, 2014) - GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com)
is proud to announce the Window-Eyes Certification Program.  The
Window-Eyes Certification Program is a professional certification that
enables individuals to test their Window-Eyes knowledge and become
certified, which will demonstrate competency and proficiency in the
product.

Recently, GW Micro announced a partnership with Microsoft to provide users
of Microsoft Office 2010 or later a free license of Window-Eyes.  “We have
had a large demand for a certification program for Window-Eyes,” said
Jeremy Curry, Director of Training for GW Micro.  “With the advent of a
no-cost screen reader solution and as the assistive technology industry
expands, GW Micro is meeting demand and growing with the industry.”

The Window-Eyes Certification Program will be immediately recognized by
some state agencies for people who are blind or visually impaired.  Curry
believes that private corporations, as well as local, state, and federal
government agencies will take advantage of the Window-Eyes Certification
Program as accessibility testing for websites, documents, and other
electronic communication is becoming a larger part of mainstream culture.
“In many government agencies, there are laws that dictate digital content
must be accessible, and this is one way that GW Micro can help ensure there
are knowledgeable individuals certified in Window-Eyes able to provide
their product expertise to organizations that need it.”

GW Micro will be expanding their training and certification program later
this year to continue to meet a strong demand.  For information on
Window-Eyes available for free for users of Microsoft Office, please visit
www.windoweyesforoffice.com.  To learn more about the Window-Eyes
Certification Program, please visit http://www.gwmicro.com/WECertified.

GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com) has been a trusted pioneer in the adaptive
technology industry since 1990, and continues to lead with innovative,
customer driven solutions.
