Well, Window-Eyes Mobile can be installed onto a flash drive using the WE installation cd.
This is from the manual: Window-Eyes Mobile Window-Eyes offers the ability to be installed on a removable drive for easy portability. In order for Window-Eyes Mobile to function correctly, there are a few rules that must be followed: 1. Window-Eyes Video Support must be installed prior to running Window-Eyes Mobile. 2. The Window-Eyes Video Support version must match the Window-Eyes Mobile version. 3. Administrator rights are required to install Window-Eyes Video Support. 4. Window-Eyes Video Support will offer an uninstall option in the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Window-Eyes Mobile will not offer an uninstall option in the Add/Remove Programs control panel, as it is portable, and may not exist on the same machine where the installation was run. Window-Eyes Mobile is self-contained, and can be removed simply by deleting the Window-Eyes Mobile directory. Let us take a look at how Window-Eyes Mobile can allow you to take Window-Eyes on the go. Roger recently learned of a new research computer station at his local library, and was anxious to check it out. Rather than taking his CD to the library and installing his own personal copy of Window-Eyes onto a public computer, Roger decided to use the Window-Eyes Mobile install so that he could keep all of his Window-Eyes settings on his personal USB pen drive. Before heading off to the library, Roger installed Window-Eyes Mobile onto his pen drive using the Window-Eyes Mobile install located under the Advanced Options in the initial Window-Eyes Setup Options dialog. After the Window-Eyes Mobile installation completed, Roger copied a simple Window-Eyes Video Support installation file from his Window-Eyes CD-ROM (located in the wevideo folder on the root of his Window-Eyes CD-ROM) to the root of his pen drive, knowing that Window-Eyes Mobile would not work without Window-Eyes Video Support already installed. Roger could have also downloaded the Window-Eyes Video Support tool from http://www.gwmicro.com/support. Once Window-Eyes Mobile and the Window-Eyes Video Support tool were successfully copied onto Roger's pen drive, he headed off to the library. After obtaining Administration rights from the librarian, Roger ran the Window-Eyes Video Support tool that he copied to the root of his USB pen drive. Once the machine finished rebooting, the librarian set his permissions back to a normal user, and Roger launched Window-Eyes Mobile directly from his USB pen drive, and he was able to check out all of the new research material available on the new research computer. Roger has been able to return to that computer several times, always able to work with confidence, reassured that all of his Window-Eyes settings were securely stored on his personal pen drive, and that the new research computer would always be available with his own copy of Window-Eyes any time he needed it. Although the Window-Eyes Mobile install provides you with an easy way to get a fresh copy of Window-Eyes installed onto a removable drive, you could also choose to copy an existing Window-Eyes installation instead. For example, if you have made several set file changes to your own copy of Window-Eyes and want to use those settings on your removable drive without having to start from scratch, simply copy your entire Window-Eyes directory along with the contents of %appdata%\GW Micro\Window-Eyes to your removable drive, and you can run it just like a copy of Window-Eyes Mobile (again, assuming that Window-Eyes Video Support is already installed on the machine where you will be launching your removable copy of Window-Eyes). Note that due to security restrictions within Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008/R2, apps that are present in a Window-Eyes mobile install will not run. This restriction does not apply to Windows XP, and apps found in a Window-Eyes mobile installation will run normally. hth, Lou N. -----Original Message----- From: Sunshine [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 10:23 AM To: Bob, K8LR; Tom Coburn; GW Micro Subject: Re: W/E 7.5.4.1 portable install how-to Where would you find this portable version of window eyes? on the site? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob, K8LR" <[email protected]> To: "Tom Coburn" <[email protected]>; "GW Micro" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 9:10 AM Subject: Re: W/E 7.5.4.1 portable install how-to Hi Tom, just copy the W E 7.5.4.1 install file from the GW Micro web site to your flash stick and that's all you need.

I am both a window-eyes and Zoomtext 10 user, using both at the same time since I have enough sight left to see contents of the screen at 8-10x, but magnification too high to be productive on the computer without window-eyes, especially since the native display is like 1600x1200 even hard to see for most fully sighted people. I am looking for work currently, and once I do find work, I have to somehow explain to an employer why I need both window-eyes and zoomtext on a computer they give me, which may not even have admin privledges like my last internship didn't, so I thought it would be easier to just put them both on a stick, or try to put window=eyes on the ZT USB stick if there's enough room to do so I don't know If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
