Ok gw micro we want touch we want touch we want touch come on every one say it loud say it proud we want touch. I love my venue from del. I have been using it exclusively as a touch device will connect a keyboard and install window-eyes on it. for my money windows is always going to beat IOS as a computing platform. I also think gw micro needs to hurry up with touch because if I am reading the signs right it looks like we might have a phone running windows pro. I will be all over that if that happens. If it does maybe gw micro should talk to carryers offering the phone and see if they will offer window-eyes on a payment plan along with the phone it self. Narrator is getting better and NVDA is pretty good but window-eyes still has them beet in most places.

A Windows 8 tablet that Window-eyes can run on is just a computer running the full Windows 8, IE, desktop apps you have been running for years and are used to work fine. On my acer, I'm running Window-eyes 8.4 with traditional desktop apps such as Microsoft office 2013, Chicken Nugget, MaPlEr, and even my livedrive backup software. I'm not able to interact with the touch screen, but a bluetooth keyboard works just fine. My Acer even came with the bluetooth keyboard. I do not have a Braille display but don't see why Window-eyes wouldn't work with a bluetooth or usb display if configured. Again, Window-eyes will not run on tablets running Windows RT. Windows RT does not run on in tell based tablets nore does it have the full desktop so traditional desktop apps will not work. Hope this helps.
