This is not correct, it is a fully functional version of Window-Eyes so
will work with other programs as well, browsers, e-mail programs
etc.<br><br>

<dd>This is great news!<br><br>
<dd>Jan-14-2014<br><br>
<dd>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br><br>
<dd>Fort Wayne, Indiana (January 14, 2014) - GW Micro, Inc.<br>
<dd>(<a href="http://www.gwmicro.com/" eudora="autourl">
www.gwmicro.com</a>) is proud to make a revolutionary announcement.
GW<br>
<dd>Micro and Microsoft Corp. have partnered to make Window-Eyes
available<br>
<dd>to users of Microsoft Office at no cost. Window-Eyes is a screen<br>
<dd>reader that enables people who are blind, visually impaired, or
print<br>
<dd>disabled to have full access to Windows PCs and makes the
computer<br>
<dd>accessible via speech and/or Braille.<br><br>
<dd>To better deliver Window-Eyes to the people who need it most, GW
Micro<br>
<dd>and Microsoft have collaborated on this global initiative,
available<br>
<dd>in over 15 languages, to enable anyone using Microsoft Office 2010
or<br>
<dd>later to also use Window-Eyes for free. Access to technology
is<br>
<dd>critical to people who are blind or visually impaired in order to
have<br>
<dd>the same opportunity to compete in the workplace. As such, this<br>
<dd>initiative between GW Micro and Microsoft has the potential to
reduce<br>
<dd>barriers for millions of people who are blind or visually
impaired<br>
<dd>around the world.<br><br>
<dd>As the population ages, technologies like Window-Eyes will become
more<br>
<dd>and more important as the number of people with age-related
macular<br>
<dd>degeneration and other retinal degenerative diseases increases.
"This<br>
<dd>significant change in the way we are doing business reflects the<br>
<dd>changing perception of accessibility and also technology in
general.<br>
<dd>Rather than wait for the world to change, Microsoft and GW Micro
are<br>
<dd>leading the way," said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales
and<br>
<dd>Marketing for GW Micro. Weirich believes this technology can
help<br>
<dd>millions of people gain access to their PC, and that providing it
free<br>
<dd>of charge will open a whole new world of assistive technology to
many<br>
<dd>people.<br><br>
<dd>In light of the rapidly changing face of technology and
specifically,<br>
<dd>the changing face of assistive technology, the combined efforts of
GW<br>
<dd>Micro and Microsoft have the goal of providing accessibility to
people<br>
<dd>who are blind and visually impaired for the long term.<br><br>
<dd>Microsoft continues to take accessibility seriously. “By
partnering<br>
<dd>with GW Micro in this endeavor we are demonstrating
Microsoft’s<br>
<dd>ongoing commitment to provide all of our customers with the
technology<br>
<dd>and tools to help each person be productive in both their work
and<br>
<dd>personal lives.” said Rob Sinclair, Chief Accessibility Officer
for<br>
<dd>Microsoft.<br><br>
<dd>Eligible customers, using Microsoft Office 2010 or higher, will
be<br>
<dd>able to download a full version of Window-Eyes starting today at<br>
<dd><a href="http://www.windoweyesforoffice.com./" eudora="autourl">
www.WindowEyesForOffice.com. </a> The website provides download<br>
<dd>instructions as well as additional details about this offer.<br><br>
<dd>GW Micro, Inc.
(<a href="http://www.gwmicro.com/" eudora="autourl">www.gwmicro.com</a>)
has been a trusted pioneer in the<br>
<dd>adaptive technology industry since 1990, and continues to lead
with<br>
<dd>innovative, customer<br>
