> I am pleased to let everyone know  that Window-Eyes the well respected 
> screen access program is now available  free of charge to be installed on 
> any computer which has an installed,  valid copy of MS Office, 2010 or 2013.
> 
> The downloadable version and  extensive support materials is available at 
> www.windoweyesforoffice.com.  There is no functional difference between 
> the full purchased package and  this version.
> 
> Several important differences in support are  noteworthy.
> 
> Technical support for the Office version of Window-Eyes  will need to be 
> purchased at $25 per incident or a 12 incident, 12 month  package for $99.
> 
> No installation media is provided with the Office  version of 
> Window-Eyes, CD copies can be purchased.
> 
> The braille and  large print hot key card can be purchased.
> 
> Use of the GW Connect client  for Skype will include advertising.
> 
> As our members face the uncertainty  of end of life for Windows XP and 
> contemplate how to upgrade their  technology, this announcement may 
> illuminate a very exciting, and  affordable, path forward.
> 
> The Huntington Area Chapter is planning on  conducting several "Life 
> After XP" seminars over the next several months.  We will now focus on 
> taking advantage of this exciting news. Many of our  members already use 
> Window-Eyes, but have had to put up with very old  versions running on 
> even older equipment.
> 
> I also note with interest  the advent of Windows Tablets. One of which, 
> the Dell Venue, includes  Office 2013 and life time security software for 
> $319. I'll purchase one at  Costco this week-end and install Window-Eyes 
> for Office and let you all  know how it works.
> 
> I am confident that we can attract new members and  retain existing 
> membership if we have useful information available which  isn't available 
> from other sources. In our case it's offering hands-on  experience and 
> one-on-one consultation with respect to individuals  technology needs.
> 
> I apologize if this is running  a bit long, but  I must share this good 
> news with you all, particularly in light of the  critical situation our 
> members here in WV face, wanting to get up-to-date  technology and not 
> having the resources to purchase a new computer and an  $800 screen reader.
