I see only one distinction, and that is that even with the 32Bit OS,
you're wasting the capabilities of your hardware with only half of
it's capabilities because of the incapability of the access package
involved. To have a 64Bit OS handy in the wings and install it to
make it work at 64Bit in the future after already running well under
32Bit seems a lot of extra work. I'd wait until the 64Bit version of
Window-Eyes was released before I bought a new system, because having
the hiatus in operating time would not be acceptable to me.

When you say 64bit machine. You need to make a distinction between
64bit hardware and 64 bit OS.. 32 bit OS will run just fine on 64 bit hardware.

Yes, when shopping for a computer you do need to make sure that you aren't
getting a 64 bit machine. Here in canada, when I was looking at the
computers offered by Future Shop, (a major chain,) all of the laptops that
they showed me were 64 bit machines. I was actually quite surprised at the
extent to which new machines emphasized 64 bit systems. To me, this
indicated the importance of 64 bit compatibility for screen readers.
For those who are required to use a 64 bit system for work, the only screen
reader that I know of which offers it is System Access. I have never used
that program with a 64 bit machine, so this is absolutely not an
endorsement, but it is a direction that a person who is caught in the
squeeze could investigate while waiting for Window-Eyes to offer 64 bit
accessibility.

Hello.
Someone mentioned support for 64 bit.
Is it getting to the point now where if you go to some of these department
stores or best buy stores or stores like that you have to double check to
see if the computer your buying is running 64 bit or 32 bit?
I know one thing if there is a company running 64 bit software that nocks
a
blind person right out of a job just simply because they can't use the 64
bit operating system.
That would be ashamed.
Who knows the system and applications could be 100 percent accessible that
is if you had a screen reader that worked with a 64 bit system.
I don't mean to sound pessimistic but any more I just can't help it.
Some times it is vary discouraging.
By the way the other big screen reader don't support 64 bit either.
Tracy Son.

Questions About the Direction of Window-eyes I understand your point of
view.
II agree taht the person who is working on java with a script is great
news.
But, what about the 4 issues we mentioned ... can you comment on them?
1. Better way to deal with the loss of speech.
2. You already answered the java issue.
3. Fix browse mode.
4. support for 64bit os.

Hi, Sam. With all due respect, many comments were made regarding
requests
and suggestions for scripts. Was I one of the people who suggested
scripts?
Nope, but what a powerful tool indeed.
As Aaron said, stay uned, smile. Some enterprising author is working on
a
script for java support. I do agree with Cory and hope that a script can
be
incorporated into future versions of Window-eyes.
I responded privately to one of the members of this list for what I
considered to be an unnecessary comment for everybody to read on such a
list
as this.
