I have a question. When I was installing on windows xp, the read me
file says that I need a cd to install on windows 8. can you clearify this.
It almost sounds like I cannot use the upgrade on windows 8.

Chris,
Yes, LTO users with an active SMA (which it should be if the LTO copy is
current) are able to download the upgrade as non-LTO copies with an SMA.
All Vocalizer voices will be available in a day or two.

Hi
Is this the same for us guys using LTO copies of window-eyes? I did see
that the russian and spanish versions of the vocalizer voices were
available but I didn't see any others. can the American and british
english voices be bought online through you guys too?

Buddy,
Yes. Current Software Maintenance Agreement owners will always receive
CDs of newly released major versions. It's one of the advantages of
owning an SMA.

For us SMA having people, will we get a new CD, or do we have to order
one? (I've mislaid my 7.5 CD someplace, it's probably in one of several
piles of CDs…)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Wayne, Indiana (December 5, 2012) - GW Micro, Inc.
(www.gwmicro.com) is proud to announce the release of Window-Eyes 8.0!
The new version of Window-Eyes enables people who are blind or
visually impaired to browse the web in a whole new way with automatic
Browse mode, support for web 2.0 technologies, such as Accessible Rich
Internet Applications (ARIA), and a new set of intuitive hotkeys for a
simplified web browsing experience. In addition, Window-Eyes
customers can now show their sighted peers exactly where they are on a
website by routing the mouse pointer to the current web page element.
Being able to route the mouse to any web page element will also prove
beneficial when a website has limited keyboard access and requires the
use of the mouse to click on various buttons or links.
Users of other popular screen readers will now be able to easily make
the switch to Window-Eyes and harness the power of version 8.0 thanks
to the new Insert Key keyboard layout. The Insert Key keyboard layout
provides a familiar and consistent set of keystrokes for users of
other screen readers and helps eliminate the learning curve for new
users of Window-Eyes. Customers can easily select the new Insert Key
keyboard layout using the Quick Start Wizard, which makes the setup
process fast and simple.
Are you using Windows 8 or plan on purchasing a new computer soon? If
so, then Window-Eyes 8.0 is a tool that you need in your hands!
Window-Eyes 8.0 supports Windows 8 and makes navigating the new
Windows 8 Start screen effortless with enhanced navigation support
that beats the competition hands-down.
Support for the JAVA Access Bridge has also been added in Window-Eyes
8 enabling a higher level of interaction with JAVA based programs and
web applications that properly implement accessibility.
If you are in the IT field or provide computer repair services, then
you will love the newly added support for Windows Safe Mode. You no
longer need to worry about Safe Mode being inaccessible with the power
of Window-Eyes 8.0.
Additionally, Window-Eyes Mobile can now be used to access any
computer without the need for administrative rights. This means you
can walk up to any computer, insert your USB flash drive with
Window-Eyes Mobile and gain immediate speech access to the system.
Have you ever had a sighted friend or family member mute your computer’s
volume leading to you being stuck without speech? If so, this next
feature of Window-Eyes 8 is for you! Window-Eyes can now unmute your
computer with the press of a keystroke. With Window-Eyes 8.0, you
will no longer need sighted assistance to unmute the computer and
bring back your speech!
Email messages are becoming more difficult to read with a screen
reader because many authors are now using both graphical content and
complex formatting. Window-Eyes 8.0 includes a number of email
support enhancements in Microsoft Outlook including message
virtualization. Message virtualization allows customers to quickly
read complex HTML messages that formerly had to be opened in a web
browser. This makes reading any email in Outlook fast and accurate
without the need for additional steps.
The highly acclaimed Window-Eyes Remote Assistance utility now
supports file transfers and Windows clipboard functions between
connected computers. Both of these helpful new features make providing
support and training with Window-Eyes Remote Assistance even more
powerful and interactive.
Last but not least, Window-Eyes 8.0 will also allow customers to use
several new human-sounding voices. Specifically, all new copies of
Window-Eyes 8.0 purchased by US customers will automatically include
the high-quality Vocalizer US English voices (UK English voices are
available instead of US English upon request).
For our current US customers who are upgrading to Window-Eyes 8, all
English Vocalizer voices will be available for purchase at the
discounted price of only $39 until Friday, February 1, 2013. In
addition to English, many other popular languages such as Spanish,
French and German are also available for purchase. After February 1,
the cost for additional Vocalizer languages will revert to the normal
price of $59. US customers also have the option of purchasing all
Vocalizer languages for $95. For customers outside the US, contact
your local GW Micro dealer for Vocalizer pricing and ordering
information. Please note that the Vocalizer voices sold by GW Micro
are only compatible with Window-Eyes.
Order your copy of Window-Eyes 8.0 today to take advantage of all of
these innovative features and new Vocalizer voices! Customers in the
US, please call GW Micro at (260) 489-3671 or your local dealer to
order Window-Eyes 8. If you already own Window-Eyes and have
registered your license with GW Micro, you can order your upgrade to
Window-Eyes 8 online at: https://www.gwmicro.com/Catalog/Upgrades/.
Non-US customers, please contact your GW Micro dealer for ordering
information and for updates on the localization of Window-Eyes 8. To
